Title: I'm almost fully decided to actually work in a clinic...
Post by: HouseOfDialysis on May 03, 2011, 06:25:39 AM
I think it would be novel, not just a novelty, to be a dialysis technician that has been through it and understands. I would trust that person more than someone who doesn't grasp the full weight of kidney failure.

I'm going to consult with my Clinic Staff about training and what they suggest, if they think the move is correct for a married father of one.

This should be an interesting day on Thursday.

My Nxstage trainer is a young mother of 2 who also uses Nxstage herself.  (lupus).  She started out working in a clinic, but came down w/kidney failure ( is this catchy?).  Sure was nice to have someone who really knows all the angst of dialysis.

Are you acting on this?  I've often thought it might be a great job for those of us who have been there, done that!
