The American Nephrology Nurses Association has declared the second week of September Nephrology Nurses Week.
Nephrology Nurses oversee dialysis treatments required by patients suffering from acute or chronic kidney failure. They check and record patients’ vitals, ensure that dialysis machines are set up correctly, and teach patients how to operate home dialysis machines. Nephrology Nurses focus on preventative care, patient assessment, and direct patient care. Nephrology Nurses make a difference in so many lives!
