A Conversation with a Nurse
Mary Houglum is the type of nurse that every dialysis patient would love to
have. Her compassion and desire to be a nurse came from a night nurse she had in
the hospital when she was 8 years old. This program will let you hear how she
takes the time to listen to her patients to answer questions, resolve issues and
explain treatments. Mary tells Lori and Stephen that it is important for the
patient to be open and honest with their nurses.
