I've had gotten this question a couple of times already everytime a patient asks me if I'm a nurse or a tech. Whenever they find out I'm an RN, they always ask me "Why are you here? You're a good nurse. You should work in a hospital!" To my surprise, most of them think being in a dialysis is a ****** job for an RN. I always tell my patients that dialysis is special to me. Helping people extend their lives daily and actually being a part of it makes me happy. I actually love what I'm doing. If only these patients see and appreciate our efforts, that would be really nice.... Until then, I'll continue to do what I love to do.
