Job interview for INPATIENT DIALYSIS JOB... HELP!

I'm not sure what company you are interviewing for, but you can go to Davita.com for information on dialysis.....also go to the national kidney foundation and read up on it......hope this helps! best wishes

If they know you have no dialysis experience then they won't judge you on what you don't know. They should be offering to train you.

There are a few sites that can help give you some insight
http://www.renalweb.com/
Also as someone previously posted the National Kidney Foundation
On the patients end which can help you understand some of the issues they encounter and thier side of what they are feeling is www.ihatedialysis.com

If you have no previous background in dialysis they should be willing to train you. Also be sure they do offer you a good training program as there is alot of technical and very specialized. It takes a good year to feel comfortable in most cases. Also ask how it may affect your ability to go to other units if later you decide you dont like it. Many of us who have left dialysis (including inpt) had doors closed because the hospitals didnt consider it "bedside" nursing. Dont ask me why but it happens frequently. I have a friend left Acutes and the hospitals stated she didnt have "recent" med/surg or bedside experience...hmm go figure. I'm having the same issue also but I just left a chronic unit. Dialysis is a love it or hate it job.
