Hi - I just passed the NCLEX RN yesterday! I still can't believe it. I will be starting on a Renal Transplant floor on July 9. It is at a large teaching hospital and they seem to like new grads.

I just wanted to get some opinions on what I can do to prepare for my new position. I am re-reading the renal chapter in my A&P book, but any advice from you seasoned nurses would be greatly appreciated.

I did a clinical rotation on a renal floor at another hospital and there seemed to be a lot of meds including immunosuppressants. Thanks so much for any advice offerred. Have a great weekend!

congrats on passing your NCLEX! Excellent!
You might go to a site called www.nephron.com - it has all kinds of information about nephrology, nursing, and ESRD managment.

It will be interesting to see your progress!

This specialty if so intense. You think about the fact that with the right training, you are enabling families to have people they love still around...when they probably shouldn't be on the planet. You touch many people every day...and you make a difference for a long, long time.
