Dialysis Is Your Specialty

I'd love to
hear from you.
YOU are a specialist. Ever think about yourself from that perspective? You are the member of a dialysis team. Many people cannot do your job. Many have tried and quit. What do you think makes you good at your job? What do your teammates rely on you for? Your answers to these questions are guides to your personal and professional strengths. Strength is an area of the job where you’re at your best, not necessarily that you’re the best there is. These are the activities that make you feel strong. You know yourself best. Was there a day that just flew by? What were you doing? What part of your day do you look forward to each day? These are your strengths.

Now what? You can no longer deny the fact that you have achieved success using your strengths. So, now, what are you going to do with that fact? Sit on your accomplishments? Or take a close look at all you’ve accomplished and make the decision to take your life even further? Achieve more success. Set more goals. Enjoy the power of your strengths. Work it.
Now is Your "Me Time." Look for ways to live happier and healthier. Think about how “happier” and “healthier” might look for you. Silence the excuses buzzing in your head, and focus instead on the possibilities. Ask yourself, “If time and money were not an issue, what would I do with my life?” Be sure to give the answers that are true for you, not to please others, or make you the person others want you to be. Who do YOU want to be, and what do you want to do, with the rest of your life?

YOU Have the Power to Succeed. Strengths are power. It’s your job to channel your strengths to have your greatest power. Ever since you first started in dialysis, you have become a specialist by channeling your strengths to learn what you needed to learn and discard whatever was no longer useful. Being a specialist means you’ve achieved success. You’ve chosen to grow – personally and professionally – to work through the challenges of every workday and every job change.
Every honest effort you make to live a better life helps you to lead others toward a better life, too.
