Abstrakt:	This qualitative study aimed to explore the experiences of 11 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing evaluation for kidney transplant (KT) and examine the role played by the nurse in the process. Employing a descriptive phenomenology approach, semi‐structured interviews were conducted between October 2022 and July 2023. Thematic analysis, facilitated by Atlas. ti software, revealed a systemic management diagram with "The candidate for kidney transplant and their reality" at the center, followed by "The process of chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation," and concluding with the most distal category centered on "The kidney transplant access nurse." This organizational framework provided insights into the layers of relationships between emerging themes. The findings underscored the complexity and multidimensionality of the CKD and KT process, emphasizing the nurse's pivotal role as a guide and protector throughout the evaluation process for accessing kidney transplantation. The convergence of results with existing literature highlighted the need to address challenges such as lack of time, resources, and emotional support to enhance the quality of care. Recognizing the nurse's crucial importance in this process, the study emphasizes the significance of addressing these challenges to improve patient care and calls for attention to the nurse's role in guiding individuals through the intricate journey of CKD and kidney transplantation.
