opportunity to independently manage their cases with confidence and
accountability. As a Home Hemodialysis Nurse (HHD Nurse), you will
be providing education on Home Hemodialysis to your patients and
their care givers in a clinical setting, which then allows them to
dialyze from home. You have responsibility over the complete

patients by teaching them to administer their own dialysis and to
take their health back into their own hands.o 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, independent, and able to do the daily
things that they love. Educating patients on their options when it
comes to dialysis not only helps them own their journey, but also
expands the program to people who will benefit greatly from HHD.---
