2215 Yaupon Drive, -Wilmington, -North Carolina, -28401, -United
States of AmericaAs a Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse (PD RN),
you educate your patients on how to do their own dialysis from
their homes, and you take responsibility for the complete ongoing
care of each patient to ensure their treatment stays on track. -You
will work a Monday to Friday schedule-yet your impact on the lives
of our patients will be felt every day.If you haven't considered
Nephrology nursing before, read on as we think that you should.
Dialysis Experience is NOT required.What you can expect:
- Complexities - -You multitask in myriad ways - put down one
patient's chart, start another, work with a physician, run out to
get a medication, respond to a supplier's request - with lots of
loose ends to pull together and a lot of follow up. It's
challenging, fun and keeps your day fresh.
- Educator -- -Empower your patients by teaching them to
administer their own dialysis and to take their health back into
their own hands. If you feel your calling has always been to be
both a nurse and educator, then you will love your work as a
peritoneal dialysis nurse. -Training patients takes time and mental
energy and the rewards of that investment come in seeing the
transformation of your patients from feeling sick and afraid, to
strong and independent. - -
- Autonomy - -Provide comprehensive patient care in an
independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use
your mind constantly. You apply your "core" nursing skills to
assess, diagnose and implement complete care plans as you look at
the whole patient. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy
comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.What
