Hello eveyone!  My name is Sinae.  I'm female and I'm from Southern California.  I graduated from college with a degree in history and in sociology and now....I'm working in dialysis.  My plan is to go back to school and complete the RN program while working as a tech!  I'd like to open a dialysis center or school someday with my mother (a retired physician). 

Thanks for having me!  The experiences of EVERY person on this board will help me provide better care for dialysis patients!  Thank you all for your dedication and time!  Oh....and thanks again!
