Course Description

This course addresses the nursing management and advanced practice competencies required for hemodialysis care and supportive treatment for renal transplantation patients. Significant focus is placed on the components of hemodialysis such as advantages, disadvantages, management of access devices, the hemodialysis prescription, patient assessment, prevention of complications, planning care, and associated pharmacotherapeutics. Students will be challenged with learning activities that promote a thorough understanding of the nurse’s role and responsibilities, as well as leadership principles, regarding care for the patient undergoing hemodialysis. Students are also required to develop a strong knowledge regarding options for renal transplantation, contraindications, and nursing management for the living kidney recipient and donor across the continuum of care.

This course is delivered online and includes both synchronous and asynchronous components. Learners may be required to attend scheduled online sessions on set days; however, sessions are typically recorded and can be viewed later. Additional coursework is completed independently, allowing for flexibility.
