Hi. I am new to this forum concept, and do not know where to begin. My background info is: I received my RN in July 2003, when I was 42 years old, and spent a few months working on a med/surg unit, then was diagnosed with cancer and spent the next 18 months in treatment. I am now in remission, and working part time, but am not happy in my current position. As a new nurse, inexperienced and now returning after a long absence, I feel very isolated and somewhat overwhelmed at the thought of returning to nursing full time. I would like more info about the process of becoming a renal/dialysis nurse. Can you help me?
