- As a Dialysis Nurse, I delivered specialised care to patients with kidney failure requiring dialysis treatment. This included conducting comprehensive pre-dialysis assessments, reviewing medical histories, and evaluating patients’ physical and emotional conditions. I was responsible for operating and monitoring dialysis machines, ensuring their proper function, and making necessary adjustments during treatments.
- Throughout the dialysis process, I closely monitored patients, recorded vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate, and responded promptly to any complications or adverse reactions. A key aspect of my role involved educating patients and their families on the dialysis procedure, dietary restrictions, prescribed medications, and home care management.
- I also managed vascular access sites, maintaining cleanliness and functionality to prevent infections or blockages. Additionally, I administered prescribed medications, such as anticoagulants, and ensured accurate documentation of all treatments, patient progress, and any complications.
- I collaborated with nephrologists, dietitians, and other healthcare professionals to develop individualised care plans. I consistently adhered to infection control protocols, maintaining a sterile environment to ensure patient safety. After each session, I assessed the patient’s condition, provided appropriate aftercare instructions, and arranged follow-up dialysis appointments

- My first role as a Dialysis Nurse was a formative experience that laid the foundation for my nursing career. In this position, I was entrusted with delivering specialised care to patients suffering from kidney failure who required regular dialysis treatment.
- As a newcomer to the profession, every day was a learning opportunity. I quickly became familiar with the fundamentals of patient assessment, conducting thorough pre-dialysis evaluations, reviewing medical histories, and observing patients’ physical and emotional conditions. With close supervision and support from experienced colleagues, I learned how to operate and manage dialysis machines, monitor dry and current weights, and adjust the ultrafiltration rate based on patient needs.
- Throughout the dialysis process, I paid close attention to vital signs and began recognising early warning signs of complications such as hypotension, hypoglycaemia, and muscle cramps. There were moments when I made small mistakes like setting incorrect machine parameters or missing early signs of discomfort but each one became a valuable lesson that strengthened my clinical judgment and attention to detail.
- Educating patients and their families on dialysis care, dietary guidance, and home management was initially challenging, but over time I developed stronger communication skills and the confidence to provide both information and emotional support. I also learned the importance of maintaining vascular access sites and administering medications like anticoagulants with precision and care.
- Documentation and collaboration were key areas of growth for me. Keeping accurate records and working alongside nephrologists, dietitians, and other professionals taught me the importance of teamwork and clear communication. Infection control and patient safety protocols were instilled in me early on, and I came to understand how critical they are in maintaining a safe clinical environment.
- This role helped me build a strong foundation in dialysis nursing. It was a time of continuous growth, where learning from mistakes and receiving feedback played a vital role in shaping me into a more confident and competent nurse. By the end of my time in this position, I was independently managing dialysis sessions, offering post-treatment care, and contributing meaningfully to each patient’s overall care plan.
