Hello everyone,

I've been lurking here for a few days and I think this site is fantastic.  I plan to tell all of my patients about it and try to put up a poster in the lobby of my unit.  I found you through the article in Nephrology News.

I've been an RN for 30 years and have been working in dialysis for 16.  I now specialize in home therapies but I have done in-center HD, acute HD, PD, home hemo, and dialysis education.  If any of you think I can add to the discussions here please speak up.
