Your videos help me to understand more deeply what my father went through with HD. Though he's passed now, the education you're providing is invaluable to anyone who wants to learn, whatever their reason. Many, many thanks.

I have been a CHT for 3 years and I love it, thank you for sharing all your knowledge through CZcams, I hope it encourages more health professionals to consider HD as we know it is widely needed ❤️

Considering transitioning to the dialysis clinic. Most of my experience has been at the bedside so I'm practically clueless in this area. Your video helped a ton! Thanks for sharing !
U are welcome! I was bedside before I went to the dialysis clinic. You will do great 😊
God bless you you angel! Thank you for your video and content I’m thinking of going into dialysis from bedside nursing and your video made me feel like it will be a great move. Your personality and love of people thank you for your light!
Oh good! I’m grateful for u!! I was a bedside nurse before dialysis. The med pass at dialysis is amazing!

Hi Nurse Lindsey. I heard about being a Dialysis Tech and did some research and came across your channel. I honestly didn't know much about working in dialysis. I am returning back to school to become an LPN but wondering if I should become a PCT and work at a dialysis clinic while I go to school for LPN. I have always liked the idea of working in home health or hospice care. I cared for my late father at home hospice when he was end-stage cancer and really admired the nurses who took over in his last few weeks. That experience convinced me that I needed to go back to school to become a nurse. Working in dialysis seems like such a rewarding experience. I can see how it affected you when your patient had to go to hospice. You form a bond while caring for your patients on a regular basis, how could it not affect you?
Question...can an LPN work at a dialysis facility or only RNs?
Thank u for this! LPNs can work at dialysis clinics. Follow ur heart! U can’t make a wrong choice, and dialysis would be lucky to have u!!
@@dialysisnurselindsey Thanks Lindsey! 🙏☺️
@user-nz3xy7hg1y ur welcome! Keep me posted!
Thank you for this ! Ice been thinking about dyalisis as a new grad but I hear the hours are not so great
It’s all perspective!
Lol not the balloon head patient😅😅
😂
I'm a new graduate and I have an interview for my local dialysis center and I'm curious if me having an issue where I have frequent urination would this be a problem for this job. I pee about 3 times as much as the normal person so I would need a pee break every 2 hours or so to urinate. Would that be to frequent for this job? It wasn't really an issue in the hospital I could always pop in the bathroom quickly between patients.
Do you use an automatic or manual BP?
Can you please explain to me what the difference in roles between a LVN vs RN in a dialysis setting (based in Texas)? I've looked for this info but have yet to find it... the TX BON is very scarce/vague in its description.
This is clinic based…depends on the clinic. We don’t have LVN’s where I work. I think it’s similar to hospital setting. Is there a job posted for a dialysis LVN ?
@@dialysisnurselindsey Yes, I just started a job working for Fresenius this week, so I've been explained the difference now!! Thanks for all your videos!!
Awesome! Ur welcome. Thank u for watching!!
Hi, I have been watching your videos and I would like to get your opinion if Chronic or Acute is better for New Grad RN? Thank you
Honest opinion…..chronics is better for new grads 🙃🙂🙃 thank u!
Do you have to do med math? Or do the computers tell u how much of each med to give the pt? Do y’all use epic?
Could u kindly make a video on how do cardiac Assessment pls
Sure!…include edema and lungs?
Thanks for sharing I’m a new nurse and looking into dialysis. If you don’t mind me asking what got you into dialysis to start
Of course!! I picked dialysis because i wanted to be specialized, take care of the same patients every week, and no night rotations. I had no idea what I was getting in to…cuz omg are we special (ized)
New grads do great in dialysis. I’d suggest make a list of what you want in your nursing job and find one that fits more pros than cons. There are so many jobs out there, it can be hard to choose!
@@dialysisnurselindsey thanks for your I reply really appreciate it. I’m on a med surg unit now; however I don’t see myself there for the long term. I’m looking to specialize as you already know so much options. I’ve always love the renal system it’s super fascinating to me. So I’ve been thinking about dialysis for a while now.
@@dialysisnurselindsey however I want to take my time and make a sound decision. I’m so happy I found you videos. You look so happy talking about your role! It’s truly beautiful
I came from inpatient nursing too…I don’t miss those med passes. I recommend at least applying and doing a shadow at the clinic or dialysis hospital suite if u can. Get a better vibe of the unit. Keep my posted on ur endeavors for sure 💜
Kick ass video, thank you
☺️
🙏
Thank u!
What state are you in?
You forgot to mention when the patient comes in that they need to wash their hands and site.
I have an offer for a job. The company says there are 12 pt loads. Do you think that is too many in chronic?
12 patients at a time? Do u have techs? If u have techs, I think u will do great. Techs help a lot!!
And congrats!!!!
@@dialysisnurselindsey yes, 12 at a time with tech.
@@dialysisnurselindsey thank you!! You are an inspiration
Hi ! Love your videos. New to dialysis. Im a nurse in Sweden. Curious to know more about how you set up dialys units in other countries, in US. You manage 9 patients / shift / nurse? How many techs to assist you? You do all of the assesments and cannulations?
Who trained you in dialysis, a nurse or a tech?
Do nurses do the cannulation?
Nurses and techs do the cannulation.
If ur a dialysis nurse working the Hosptial you will do more. Techs do a lot of the cannulation but I feel it’s important that nurses know this skill too.
@@dialysisnurselindsey oh interesting, in Canada it’s only the nurses who cannulate ever.
What are your techs qualifications? Are they licensed health care workers in the states?
They do on the job training, and after a year they have to take a certification test to become a certified clinical hemodialysis technician (CCHT)
Ah I see. I’m an HD nurse from Canada, looking into travel nursing in the states, so I just wanted to get a glimpse of your routines. Your video and responses were very informative, thank you!
