My love for hemodialysis has made my job easier that even up to this point I still find it enjoyable and rewarding. My dialysis journey started last 2015 which I have shared in my previous blogposts below.

Why you should become a Dialysis Nurse!

When choosing a specific area to specialize or work, there are a lot of things to consider and I got four for dialysis starting with (toxicity) are you tough enough to deal with it in the long run, (working environment) are you a team player or you work alone, (flexibility) are you up working long hours and (stability) is it capable to give you a good life in the future? Watch the video below as I’ve discussed all four.

Hemodialysis Training

For aspiring dialysis nurses, I took my dialysis training in Global Nephro Training Center. I made sure to have enough knowledge and skills before embarking to the real dialysis world and got fortunate enough to be assigned in my desired area in a hospital after the training. I even get to work with dialysis nurses who also came from the same training center.
