Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse ( PD RN ), Will Train! - Full-time / Part-time
•30 days ago

|---|---|
| Location | North Bergen, NJ North Bergen, New Jersey |
About this job
As a Peritoneal Dialysis
Registered Nurse (PD RN), you educate your patients on how to do their own
dialysis from their homes, and you take responsibility for the complete ongoing
care of each patient to ensure their treatment stays on track. Y ou will work a Monday to
Friday schedule-yet your impact on the lives of our patients will be felt every day.
Through this experience,
the trusting relationships you build as a peritoneal home therapy nurse with patients and their families are
strong and fulfilling.
"Patients truly depend on you for the answers. You are their
lifeline. You're the first person they think of and call if something goes
wrong and it's your responsibility to do the troubleshooting and get them back
on track." - Sabrina, PD RN
Here's what you can
expect as a Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse:
Complexity - Embrace a
mentally demanding RN role with many moving parts.
Expect to manage "a
very organized chaos." You multitask in myriad ways - put down one
patient's chart, start another, work with a physician, run out to get a
medication, respond to a supplier's request - with lots of loose ends to pull
together and a lot of follow up. It's challenging, fun and keeps your day
fresh.
Educator - Empower
patients to live healthier lives sharing your knowledge.
You've got to love
teaching and education. 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 the whole patient. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes
in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.
