To provide safe and quality care to patients on hemodialysis, nephrology registered nurses must fully understand the roles of the healthcare providers to whom they delegate patient care. A job analysis survey of hemodialysis technicians and licensed practical nurses/licensed vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs) was conducted by the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission (NNCC) in 2011 to 1) revalidate the Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician (CCHT) test blueprint, 2) delineate differences in practice between entry-level technicians and experienced/advanced technicians, and 3) delineate differences in practice between hemodialysis technicians and LPNs/LVNs in hemodialysis settings. Significant differences in practice were identified among the three groups, which led to the development by NNCC of two additional certification examinations: the Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician-Advanced (CCHT-A) examination and the Certified Dialysis LPN/LVN (CD-LPN/LVN) examination.
为了给接受血液透析的患者提供安全且高质量的护理，肾病科注册护士必须充分了解他们委托进行患者护理的医疗服务提供者的职责。2011年，肾病护理认证委员会（NNCC）对血液透析技术员和执业护士/职业护士（LPNs/LVNs）进行了一项工作分析调查，目的如下：1）重新验证临床血液透析技术员认证（CCHT）考试蓝图；2）明确初级技术员与经验丰富/高级技术员在实践中的差异；3）明确血液透析环境中血液透析技术员与LPNs/LVNs在实践中的差异。结果发现这三组在实践中存在显著差异，这促使NNCC开发了另外两项认证考试：临床高级血液透析技术员认证（CCHT-A）考试和透析LPN/LVN认证（CD-LPN/LVN）考试。
