Dialysis nursing falls within the field of nephrology, which is the field of medicine that focuses on the kidneys. Dialysis nurses, also known as nephrology nurses, are registered nurses who specialize in the clinical purification of blood through dialysis, which is the procedure used to clean the blood of patients with kidney disease or other kidney-related issues. Dialysis is a life-saving procedure for patients whose kidneys no longer filter out toxins from their blood.

Dialysis nurses may hold Certified Dialysis Nurse (CDN), Certified Peritoneal Dialysis Nurse (CPDN) or Certified Hemodialysis Nurse (CHN), among others.

Having a Certified Hemodialysis Nurse (CHN) validates your knowledge and skills as a dialysis nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
