I was just reading on this site and thought it was wonderful.  I've worked in dialysis all of my nursing life, 15+ years and love the patients and families.  If it's not ok for nurses in dialysis to post here I'll just continue to read.  :thx;

 :welcomesign;  We love nurses! My neph's nurse will do anything for me. She is who I call when I need help.  My daughter-in-law is a nurse and I see how involved she gets with her patients.  It really takes a special person to become a nurse.    Glad you found us.   :thumbup;

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Welcome to our community!  I wrote you a nice long welcome yesterday, but it seems that the post did not go through.  so here i am again.  i wanted to let you know that you are more than welcome to our IHD family.  We like to have everyone who has any relation whatsoever to this renal challenge (even those who might have none).  You are so welcome as a dialysis worker, that we even have a place where you can vent and complain about patients.  You see, we also have a section where we can complain (and do!) about workers.
Your particular perspective is very important to us.  So, welcome to the family! :grouphug;

big welcome to you fishing4me - of course you should stop in and chat - dialysis workers are always welcome! It's good to have a mix of people on this site - from "both sides" as it were. I'm glad you like the patients and families... certainly I feel like most of the staff are part of my extended family - given you see so much of them it kind of is that way... luckily they are all very special people and I I'd be happy to know them even if I didn't have dialysis... one of the small positives of ESRD in my book!
