Janise gave nothing short of thousands of hours
Janise Myles was hired as an intern to Ben Taub ten years ago. She continues to grow and amaze me with her natural talent; first as a nurse at the bedside, and now as a clinical leader. Janise checks off all the boxes when you ask, "what are the characteristics of a transformational leader?” She motivates her staff to uphold the highest level of care for the patients on the Medical-Surgical Unit.
Janise's primary assignment is to be the Nurse Manager of a 19-bed Medical-Surgical Unit. Her unit had no CLABSIs or CAUTIs during the last calendar year. The unit did have a number of both preventable and unpredictable falls, but through her leadership, her team is taking that challenge head-on and creating innovative ways to prevent falls, all the while encouraging patient autonomy.
One of the most honorable characteristics of a transformational leader is that of putting the interests of others before yourself. Janise was asked to lead the BT dialysis program after there was a change in leadership and a number of fallouts placing the program at risk due to CMS clinical concerns. Janise gave nothing short of thousands of hours over the course of the year to assist and rescue the program.
Janise had no dialysis experience, but she desired to accept the challenge by leading the team working in the clinical setting and learned about dialysis through a collaborative partnership with the MDs and system resources, both at LBJ and Riverside dialysis centers. In the long run, she identified that dialysis was not her calling, but the labor of love she put into the program, along with finding a new program lead whom Janise continues to mentor, is setting the dialysis program up for success.
I am honored to call her my Nurse Manager, my resource, my sounding board of logic, and my dear friend.
