Celebrating Nephrology Nurses Week and Honoring the Heart of Care

In celebration of Nephrology Nurses Week, we proudly shine a spotlight on the dedicated nurses whose care profoundly impacts the lives of dialysis patients around the world each day. This week, we share the stories of Nicole, Charles, and Bailey, three outstanding nurses and each with a unique story of their career journey and experiences as nurses at Fresenius Medical Care.

  • Nicole: A Journey of Growth and Compassion

    Nicole, a Registered Nurse (CAP 2), started her journey with Fresenius Medical Care in 2017 as a Patient Care Technician (PCT). Nicole's path from PCT to RN reflects her dedication to patient care and the importance of teamwork in dialysis. Nicole emphasizes that dialysis is all about collaboration, not just with fellow nurses but with the entire interdisciplinary team. "Watching the patients grow through their dialysis journey is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job," she shares. Nicole’s story is a testament to the deep relationships that develop between nurses and patients. "For some of them, they see the dialysis staff more than their families. We become a little family," she says. These bonds bring joy and resilience, turning challenges into teachable moments and successes into shared celebrations. Nicole’s journey from PCT to RN has also given her a unique perspective, one that she now passes on to new nurses as a preceptor. Her gratitude towards PCTs, whom she calls "the unsung heroes of dialysis," highlights the collaborative spirit that defines nephrology nursing.

  • Charles: Building Lifelong Connections

    With over 12 years at Fresenius Medical Care and two decades in dialysis, Charles brings a wealth of experience and a deep sense of community to his work as a Registered Nurse. Reflecting on his time with the company, Charles describes Fresenius as "a very large family," a sentiment that echoes throughout his experiences. Charles recalls his early days at a clinic where the support of a veteran clinic manager helped him find his footing. This mentorship shaped his approach to patient care, where he emphasizes the importance of asking questions, seeking help, and taking time to rest and recharge. The relationships Charles has built over the years—with patients, their families, and his colleagues—are the most rewarding aspects of his career. Whether it’s learning sign language from a patient or celebrating successful transplants, these moments remind him of the profound impact nephrology nurses have on their patients' lives.

  • Bailey: A Passion for Adventure and Patient Care

    Bailey's journey with Fresenius Medical Care began at just 19 years old when she joined as a PCT. Today, she is a Travel RN who has worked across multiple states, bringing her passion for patient care to diverse communities. Bailey’s career is marked by her love for adventure and her dedication to her patients. Bailey recalls her first days as a PCT, feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities but supported by a team of experienced staff who guided her every step of the way. This experience laid the foundation for her success as a nurse, allowing her to enter the profession with a deep understanding of dialysis. One of Bailey’s most rewarding experiences was witnessing multiple patients in her clinic receive transplants within a single year and a testament to the life-changing impact of nephrology nursing. Bailey’s advice to new nurses is to ask questions and remain patient with the learning process. She highlights the importance of forming strong connections with patients, a sentiment that resonates deeply in nephrology nursing, where care extends beyond clinical duties to emotional support and companionship.
