Registered Nurse RN - DUKE HEALTH Dialysis UNIT

DUKE DIALYSIS :

• The Duke Dialysis unit is set apart from other inpatient dialysis units because we have a much more acute patient population

• Here you will learn the skill of dialysis, but also be responsible for the nursing care of patients during their treatments

• For example, we have patients on insulin drips, cardiac drips, patients with tracheostomies, chest tubes, etc. that you will be responsible for maintaining during that patient's dialysis treatment

• You will provide intermittent hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy for patients throughout the hospital becoming competent in all modalities

• Join our team and work closely with nursing leadership and physicians, including a safety huddle each morning where nursing staff and nursing leadership identify any safety issues over the previous 24-hour period

• A typical day in our dialysis unit is a 12-hour shift where you will treat patients on the unit or at the bedside

• If you treat patients at the bedside you will be 1:1 but will be responsible for going to that patient to complete HD and hooking up our unique water system

• Generally, two bedside treatments can be completed in one shift

• If you are assigned to treat patients on the unit, you will have 2 patients per 1 nurse. There are usually 2 - 3 dialysis shifts per day, so you would be treating a total of 4 - 6 patients on a normal day.
