The American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) fact sheets are evidence-based educational resources developed by experts within the association’s nine Special Practice Networks (SPNs). They cover kidney disease, dialysis, transplantation, vascular access, and related clinical, financial, and regulatory topics. To locate the resources, visit the ANNA website and type “Fact Sheet” into its search bar. Several resources are currently being revised, so check the publication dates and revision status before relying on a particular sheet.

Attention Members: Don’t miss this month’s free NCPD offering! This session addresses how to transition a patient back to dialysis after a failed transplant, focusing on best practices that emphasize a collaborative, patient-centered approach. Members can earn free NCPD through the end of the month. Non-members can purchase for $30. Head to annanurse.org/library to access. #Freencpd #NephrologyNursing #Nurses #Conference
