| [ Summary ] | The kidney center consists of 15 admission beds and 60 (maximum 80) beds in the hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment room. The number of patients admitted and treated as outpatients who received dialysis was over 230 in our center. Our primary objective in the kidney center is total kidney care, realizing we must treat many kinds of complications concerning renal failure while providing professional renal treatment and nursing care. The goal of our educational program is as follows : 1. provide safety dialysis and nursing care. 2. prevent critical medical conditions. 3. devote ourselves to further education by attending medical meetings. 4. accept leadership roles to teach patients about renal failure. 5. learn emergencies techniques. Meetings with doctors and other staff members are held twice a week, to develop our skills and knowledge. To improve nursing care and skills, as well as to develop the staff's motivation, chief nurses must continue to play their vital roles. |
