Oh, I should have watched this video and made a memo before my interview on Wednesday as this was one of my clinical scenario interview questions. Thankfully, the interviewers prompted me to tell me the right answer to the question at the end, but it would have been better for me to know before. BTW, I am a new nurse in the renal nursing area who wants to become a dialysis nurse^^ Thank you for the great video and I will keep you undated on my interview result later~~
I'm not a dialysis nurse nor a tech I just started receiving dialysis yesterday. Thank you for your videos they are very helpful and understanding the science behind dialysis and the care the nurses have for their patients
@@rake1861 hi, no I’m not diabetic. It was not fun but it wasn’t that bad. I would just get really paranoid that I would end up getting a really bad cramp while I’m dialysis as that could happen. I remember being super cold almost the entire time no, no dizziness or nausea there was one female at the dialysis center who wouldend up getting nauseated most of the time I received the Transplant so fortunately I don’t have to do dialysis anymore
Thanks for the informative video. As a Fluidwise manager i am constantly reviewing target weights and post weight above target weights with PCTs and RN’s. This video justifies the reason why it is important keep an eye on the patients fluid removal and their weights.
I am so happy I found you! No seriously. You explain information in such an easy way to understand. I will be starting a career in Dialysis next week so I am nervous about the patient's passing out. How often do patients pass out on the average per week?
Hello Nurse Lindsey, My Bf is on HemoDialysis every 3x a week.. He have a little big tummy probably Ascites, Now every session they are getting 5L each session.. He is very weak and tired looking every after Dialysis.. Whatever the gain of him the Nurses are telling its because that's the Doctors order 5L to get from him.. I'm worried will it affect him?. 5 L is too much each 3x in a week
Im on dialysis and passed out when I was getting uhooked and stood up for final standing BP and felt fine for 10 seconds then I felt my blood rush to my feet and felt sweaty and vision go blurry whiteout. that happened all at once with no warning. I didnt feel nausea. Didnt have enough time to react. when it happened I blinked and passed out and feel forward on the floor and ripped my Porta-cath clean out since I still had one line hooked up to me. Went to the ER and spent the night and had to get a new one put in.
