Shonna Cade

Clinical Staff Coordinator
Solid Organ Transplant Administration

First UTSW job: Working as a Unit Secretary in Oncology.

Best part of my job: The special relationship that I have with my co-workers and that we all have with our patients and their family members.

Funniest memory: Putting a “Honk your horn” sign on a co-worker’s car for her birthday. Cars honked at her the entire commute. She didn’t know why until someone pointed to the sign.

How co-workers describe me: Dependable, always willing to help or find help.

Recipe for success: Overthinking things. I am prepared for any situation.

What energizes me at work: Challenges. They keep your mind stimulated and keep you on your toes.

I wish I were an instant expert at: Nutrition. Good nutrition makes your mind and body function better for years.

Claim to fame: My daughter volunteered here when she was in high school, then worked here while she was studying to be a nurse, and now she works on the 8th Floor as a Registered Nurse while also going to nurse practitioner school.
