- Complexities - -You multitask in myriad ways - put down one

loose ends to pull together and a lot of follow up. It's
challenging, fun and keeps your day fresh.

administer their own dialysis and to take their health back into
their own hands. If you feel your calling has always been to be
both a nurse and educator, then you will love your work as a
peritoneal dialysis nurse. -Training patients takes time and mental
energy and the rewards of that investment come in seeing the
transformation of your patients from feeling sick and afraid, to
strong and independent. - -
- Autonomy - -Provide comprehensive patient care in an
independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use
your mind constantly. You apply your "core" nursing skills to
assess, diagnose and implement complete care plans as you look at
