Abstract
Abstract: To fulfill my Purchase College senior capstone, I created a short video describing how my father lives with chronic kidney disease.  He partakes in dialysis multiple times a week and is looking for a kidney transplant.  His story is no different from the thousands of people who seek the same treatment.  I decided to research and understand how nurses treat their patients and how it affects end stage renal disease patients.  Some may be hesitant like my father to receive a kidney but further research shows the benefits to informing patients who need a kidney.  African-Americans in particular receive the lease amount of kidney transplants because of the lack of information provided to them.  However, with a change of attitudes from nurses and more accessible information given to ESRD patients, there could be more successful transplants in the future.
