A student nurse, when leaving my unit to go back to school, gave the nurses a card with the things she learned while in dialysis.  These are some of them.  Feel free to add your own.

What happens in dialysis, stays in dialysis

There's nothing worse than a skinny nurse (because everyone brings the nurses food)

I learned that a 2 minute conversation with my neph about his tie is actually a $500 consultation that can be billed to insurance.   ;D
