Title: Hemodialysis nurse
Post by: kianhu on May 03, 2007, 07:41:12 PM
Hi, My name is Kim, I am 36yr and I have been a hemodialysis RN for 10yrs in an outpatient clinic.  I am absolutely thrilled to find this website.  I cannot wait to go to work tomorrow to tell all my patients about it.  I just found it today so I am just checking it out.  I love the T shirts.  I am always interested in thoughts and ideas that patients may have so feel free to reply or contact me at any time.  I love being in the dialysis field and I really have so many memories of different people.  Ok, I am not going to ramble on and on but I just wanted to introduce myself.  Yeaaaa for this site.   :clap;  See you soon.

Kim

Welcome to IHD Kim.  Why did you refer to dialysis patients as "memories"!??  Why is it when I talk to people they will say "oh, I knew someone who was on dialysis" (Past Tense).  Well, hopefully in both instances they received transplants.   :) 

It is good to have another dialysis on board.  There is a section for Nurses to rant also.  Check it out.

This reply is for Rerun.  I said "memories" because it means from the past.  I do have wonderful memories from my work.    Some of the patients have passed, some got transplants, and some are still on hemodialysis.  A memory can be from 30 minutes ago.   I have developed many close bonds with patients and staff.  It is kind of like a family.  Thanks to everyone who welcomed me.  I look forward to many good conversations.   :popcorn;

Welcome from a fellow nurse!  I worked chronics for 5 1/2 years and have now been in a hospital inpatient/acute unit since November.  Like you, I found that dialysis is my passion. 

This is a wonderful site, I'm sure your patients will appreciate the recommendation.  Please check out the various boards; "Dialysis Employees" is for us workers, but feel free to post on any board.

Again, good to have you.
