Attention Renal Nurses! I need help!

Hey all! I have an interview on a renal floor today (not HD)! My experience is in cardiac nursing. what types of pt's do you take care of? What are the main diagnoses? Any tips? What do you like about it working in renal? I NEED this job more than you can imagine! I moved to GA as a new grad for a cardiac job and desperately want to move back home to CA.

Thanks for any advice!

Cardiac and renal issues require basically the same nursing observations and skills.The care of renal patients depends on the root cause of the kidney failure.I liked working with these cases because it required comprehensive analysis of how their medications effected renal function and the teaching involved.Renal patients need strict dietary instruction and much coaching to remain compliant to their regimen.Just the tip of the iceberg. Good luck, keep us posted!
