Drawing from real-life case scenarios and practical experience, it highlights how early clinical exposure—when guided intentionally—can shape competent, kidney-conscious nurses. The session aims to bridge the gap between nursing theory and bedside practice, equipping trainees with knowledge, confidence, and tools to prevent avoidable renal complications.
