Hi, My name is jojo, I am a dialysis nurse, one of my patients told me about this site and that she loved it, so here I am to check it out. I'm unsure of what and how to do things here so any help is appreciated. Hopefully I will learn some new things from a patients point of view. Always trying to make life better for my patients and friends that they have become.  |

Jojo I am a nurse as well, but haven't practiced in about 10 years. My health took a downward spiral then and so I began to look at things from the other side of the hospital bed I just started dialysis a couple months ago. I hope you are able to interact with everyone and pick up some tips for your patients as well as give us some much-needed insight into things from a nurse's point of view. Glad to have you here. |
