Thank you, I have finished the training log, and I have added more pictures, please let me know what you think of the site. Yes I can go to a kaiser in-center if I have to. And my wife KNOWS how much I appreciate her. 

Also I hate to say it, but I am telling others so I must tell you, please always use the spell check, it is not an option it is a requirement of being a member of this site. Please check your post above. I bolded the misspelled word. 

AND you still have not added your location or gender. Why? Again it is a RULE!

Hi Epoman - the above is the information on the area to add location and gender - please change this information line {nothing here is required. }  if it is now a "rule".   My web access is only at work with constant interuptions and just jumped right in. 

I was very excited to read your training journal and looked for ways NxStage patients could help each other with everyday NxStage mishaps.
 
I wish you continued perfect runs

OOPS, MY BAD.  You are correct, only the GENDER is required as stated here in the link to the gender/location thread: http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=584.0

If your are uncomfortable with telling us your location. At the very least, please add your gender.

Hello!
Your journal has been very insightful for me. I am an RN and am currently training my first patient on the NxStage system. I would appreciate any feedback on the training received by others, with suggestions to make it better/easier. Thank you!

Tiffany, I think when training its important to get the patient to develop a set routine over time. I have developed my own routine and do it exactly the same each time. It helps you not to forget things or get confused. I even set my dressing pack up a certain way. It does take a while to get into your own routine, but after a few months it just comes naturally. I am an RN too, but Im on home dialysis so am nursing myself instead of others
