Lindsey: I have a question about the RN who is a new worker in dialysis. Once the RN is trained to be a tech, what is the process about getting into the RN role & handling the care of up to 12 (or more) patients undergoing dialysis? I appreciate reading your response & thank you!

I also agree! Sometimes automatic bp takes time too mach and inaccurate reading

Lunch breaks? Plural, as in breaks?? Not even one break!

Won’t blood go to the saline bag? That’s happen to me before

Lmao

I agree unreliable.

Manual for me!! #nurse 🎉

How do I prevent infection to my Perm catheter patients? Most of my patients are on it and the infection rate is high

What’s the new job?

Hi. My question might sound absurd but is there any way to make the hands feel lighter during the cannulation? Patients said something that my hand is quite heavy. Also, I feel like I always have trouble with the angle of my cannulation. I do it on 20-30 degrees and patients kinda complained that it is painful. I always feel bad for them and there are times that Im a bit afraid to do it because of their reactions.

So I am about three months into the hemo dialysis technician program. I was confuse about some of the things but thanks to your visual demonstrations, I was able to understand it better . Thank you very much I am also a dialysis patient . Hopefully I do get a job at the end of this crazy journey .

I love your cat❤❤❤❤❤

What’s the name of your glasses ? Please and thank you !

Im dropping everything and running to my car to eat

What bedside department are you working in Lindsey? Do you miss dialysis?

Congratulations on your new job

Nurse Lindsey you rock!

Take it for me you don't want to be one of those patients as it's hell I am one so I can say that!!

I just put pt situation in ASBR sequence and memorized this helped me when I'm escalating pt situation to the clinician.

You are an angel 😇 I wish I could spend the day with you in clinic and learn all you have to teach. As a new tech your information has been so valuable and very helpful. Also, as someone who likes to bring out the best in every situation, it is OK to take a step back and realize that you are doing everything right and sometimes there are other people that are bringing the team down. My preceptor was like this and I had to confront her about her negative attitude and how it is impacting someone like me who's new and wants to contribute more than team work to the clinic. Don't chase away good people. She was very stressed and ended up putting in her 2 weeks after she finished training me. ❤❤❤ I will pray that you have a wonderful start at your new job.

When I make mistakes I would (speaking this as past tense to not continue the practice) blame myself, analyze what I could have done, beat myself up for not being perfect, and compare myself to others. What I plan to do is stop ask for forgiveness from myself, face the situation and try my best to forgive and learn so that I can move on.

Thank Lindsey you are such a great help I am a dialysis patient and I wanted to learn as much terminology as possible ❤

Congratulations! Much love from Chicago

Congratulations!! I have recently started training in dialysis.

Hi you're good information given

6am? I wish I had your dedication 😅

Lpn here! I have an interview at a dialysis center for a preceptor position. Do you know what’s expected of an lpn at a dialysis center as oppose to RN? I am going back to school for my RN in the fall I love being a nurse ❤

Just came out of acute dialysis after a month. Nurses are great and very informed. For me all I did was sleepy during my sessions…

Don’t understand

Why does a nurse do a 30 minute flush after one chemo treatment

Not really lol not too complicated

Nurses jobs are always easier. I believe the hard part for nurses is getting through the schooling, then it’s smooth sailing from there!

Thank you so much for explaining very well.

Might be starting at Davita soon. Excitedly curious as this will be a new field. Hoping I love it.❤

I hope all is well with you. We are missing your videos.

Cool cat😂

Home nocturnal if possible is the best type of dialysis. If you can try it.

Cute cardboard dialysis machine! ❤ Thank you for your educational videos. I wish I worked with you 👩🏼‍⚕️

Thank you for this video I have the most impatient preceptor that loves to talk down to me and sometimes patients when we have questions that we are having trouble understanding. In my computer training they only taught us to subtract target weight from the weight they came into the clinic with. Nothing about accounting for treatment tolerance and BP. When we are moving fast my preceptor asks me to type in the goal and I have no idea what to do and she yells really loud infront of patients that I am “not studying” or “paying attention” I am I just don’t understand calculating the goal based on the patient without taking time to think about. On the spot I’m unsure. It’s really embarrassing to be yelled at infront of patients. The FA over heard and said she’s being a little too tough, but she responded that she has told me many time before and I’m not comprehending it. I am not when I only have 30 seconds to think about it and then when I ask for help after our shifts everyone tells me that it will depend on the patient and getting to know them better 🤦🏾‍♂️ how am I supposed to not look dumb?!?!? Everything else I am doing right and fast. I’m even 6 weeks into training out of 12 and I have passed my exam with a 95%, I canulate without missing, I get our bay turned over fast, yet I’m still not “studying & comprehending”. 😣 I’m also doing all this going to school full time and taking care of my family.
