He also has a hand in educating patients and families, and does this while managing contract nurses as the director of dialysis and hemodialysis. An account of his work responsibilities would be incomplete without mentioning his role in negotiating, managing nurse files and lab equipment, managing programs, ensuring equipment and water safety and hiring nurse subcontractors.
