While the position of a dialysis nurse is challenging and can be quite exhausting at times, it has been immensely rewarding to me. As a dialysis nurse, I am expected to initiate treatment, monitor the patient throughout the treatment, and have the immense responsibility of deciding when to discontinue treatment. I am also responsible for ensuring that the prescribed medication is rigorously followed, that the machines function properly and that the patient understands what is happening to them. A dialysis nurse often learns many new and unexpected things as she goes along. My position has also taught me to think on my feet and make quick and vital decisions. It has taught me to be very patient, has made me a good listener, and now I have become very efficient in forming and handling bonds with my patients.
