Title: Hi! I'm new
Post by: joannalee74 on May 19, 2008, 04:41:52 PM
Hi! My name is Joanna and I just learned of this web site today at work! I thought it sounded interesting, so I checked it out. I'm a dialysis patient care tech with 4 years experience and I love it. I love the patients and making dialysis the best it can be. I'm in nursing school and plan to stay in dialysis. I look forward to hearing what you all have to say. Right now I work at the hospital in acutes. I have my 4 years experience in chronic centers though. I've worked at 4 centers and each one felt like family to me. We spend a lot of time together!! I guess that's all for now. I'm glad to be here!

Welcome Joanna to ihatedialysis.com

 I hope you enjoy yourself here and that you can gain knowledge or share knowledge often, not only here but in your work as well.  Being a tech is a rewarding job for those who are really doing it to help others and not just a paycheck .will get all perspectives here because this is the place where you can have a voice either positive or negative. Thank you for what you do.

That's all right...whenever she visits I throw her off by rattling off all my latest numbers before she has a chance to.  She gets so confuzzled she just kind of says "Um, okay...any questions?" then wanders off.

Welcome to the site.  It is always good to see a tech who is going to stay in dialysis when they move up into nursing.  It is a lot of work for you! Good luck in your education.
