President

We accomplished so much in the past year, even with the unfortunate continuing rise in COVID variances. Thankfully, the additional vaccines and boosters were available to help keep all of us and our patients safe.

Beginning a new year brings opportunities for education and awareness. This year we are accomplishing much more to help all of you with your certification statuses.

Plan Ahead for Your CEU Credits

Seminars are a key pathway to getting the Continued Education Courses needed to earn the CEU credits for supporting your certification status. Whether you are a Nurse, Patient Care Technician, or a Biomedical Technician, we have opportunities for all!

The virtual seminar last year, 2022, was such a success that we want to keep. This year, 2023, we will have a total of 3 seminars - 2 in-person and 1 virtual!


“We don’t know what we don’t know,
until we take the time to educate ourselves.”


Taskforce Revamping the CHT Examination

Patient Care Technicians are the direct line to our patients. They are the first team member to verify everything is set up for each patient treatment. Their roles are crucial to the successful operation of dialysis treatments.

Thank You, Staff!

I must acknowledge the support from all of our team members! Our Executive Director, Peter Anas, and his amazing staff always continue to go above and beyond, to ensure our BONENT members have what they need to be successful.

Wishing you and your loved ones a fabulous 2023 - Let’s do this again!
