Nurses touch the lives of everyone they encounter, whether it is caring for individuals, families, or communities. Nurses work endlessly to help patients maintain, attain, or recover from illnesses so they can achieve optimal health and quality of life. The practice of a nephrology nurse has been recognized for over 48 years and requires an intensive knowledge base to care for the pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients with kidney disease. Nurses face many challenges in throughout their profession and workforce which require stamina, perseverance, and commitment. As a result of the current state of healthcare and the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an enormous burden placed on nurses, especially nephrology nurses.
