 Hello everyone, I am a student nurse from the UK.  I am aware that this website is really for people on dialysis, but I came onto this web site to get a better understanding of how dialysis can affect all aspects of people's lives (textbooks don't tell us a great deal). I have been fortunate enough to spend time with people in a dialysis unit, and found that the patients themselves taught me a great deal about the management, and effects of renal failure and dialysis treatment on the individual, I have a lot to thank them for.  Great website Epoman  Dorris EDITED: Fixed icon - Goofynina/Admin.

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Welcome to our community! This site did start primarily for people on dialysis, but that didn't last very long. Soon, it opened up to anyone with any remote connection whatsoever to the renal challenge (or even no connection at all!) That is one of the things that has made this a super-useful site. You get every possible perspective here, and all of us need to see the bigger picture than our little corner view. Thank you for caring enough to join us. Please feel free to share your experiences as you train in this area. ASK QUESTIONS! We will be glad to answer. Welcome again. Here is a group hug from all of us. (And a special welcome from one who grew up under the Union Jack, in the Caribbean!) Bajanne2000 / Moderator |
