   gambroRN replied to gambroRN's topic in Camp

   Well, thanks for the info. It seems that at least I will not be bored this summer. I took a ride there today to check it out, it's around 100 miles from my home. At least it's not out in the boondocks somewhere. There is a Wallmart and Walgreens a...

   Hi, I signed up to do a six week stint at a New Image Weight Loss camp. Has anyone worked at one of these camps before, and if so, what was your experience like? Also, do you have any recommendations for a first time "camp nurse"? Thank you so muc...

   FYI - gambroRN is an old screen name - this is not in reference to Gambro.

4. Would you tolerate a pay cut?????????

   gambroRN posted a topic in Urology

   I work in an acute dialysis setting where we do around 200 treatments per month, not including CRRT therapy. We have been getting paid (and got hired at) a per treatment rate of $125/00 for hemodialysis and a $75.00 flat rate for CRRT set-up. Becau...

5. Gambro Corp.

   gambroRN replied to mrdoc2005's topic in Urology

   I'm sure that different clinics have different dynamics going on in them, but my experience with Gambro was not a good one. I feel that their management personnel were ill trained for those positions, and as a result there were a lot of disgruntled ...

6. case mgt or floor rn????????

   gambroRN posted a topic in Case Management

   Just wanted to ask any seasoned case managers out there. I have been offered a case management position for a rehab hospital, and I'm very tempted to take it. However, I do not have any case management experience, they are willing to train me. What...

7. Experience with Gambro?

   gambroRN replied to YOGI_NAMASTE's topic in Urology

   I worked for Gambro for one year (chronics), and have found them to have very poor management personnel. For example, when our clinic went from 3days/week to 6 days/week, the only ones not made to work every Saturday were the boss' favorites. It wen...

8. ???Dog Lovers???

   gambroRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   This has absolutely nothing to do with nursing - but I know I can count on my fellow nurses to offer up some reliable information. We are looking for a small dog for a family pet. My youngest child (7), has asthma and allergies. We had a golden tha...

9. Acutes vs. Outpatient

   gambroRN replied to gambroRN's topic in Urology

   So................I guess there is no "better" place to work - chronics or acutes - it's just depends on how well you can "go with the flow"?????I am currently working acutes - and we have our share of problems, believe me, esp on call when you are c...

10. Need Input on Acute Dialysis Schedules

    gambroRN replied to gambroRN's topic in Urology

    I just want you all to know that I think this is great that we can bounce ideas off of one another.....it makes a hard job more bearable. I have done med-surg floor nursing, telemetry, PCCU, ICU and float, also chronic care setting. I still love di...

11. Need Input on Acute Dialysis Schedules

    gambroRN replied to gambroRN's topic in Urology

    Thanks Telepathic for sharing - it sounds like you guys are pretty organized. We do not have a room at the hospital to do dialysis in, so we are lugging the machine plus a reverse osmosis machine with us to the pt's rooms. We are now down to 3 full...

12. Need Input on Acute Dialysis Schedules

    gambroRN posted a topic in Urology

    I'd like to know if there are any acute dialysis nurses that could share with me what their typical work day/schedule is like. Our day is getting crazy....we do up to 4-6 pts/day in acutes and we are on the floor working for sometimes 18-20hrs with ...

13. Acutes vs. Outpatient

    gambroRN replied to gambroRN's topic in Urology

    Yes - sorry I should have been more specific - what I'm looking for is the pros and cons of each.

15. Private Schools

    gambroRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Happy Holidays to all. I thought I would post this question to my fellow nurses, esp all those who live in FLorida. Are private schools better for primary education - or is the public school system the way to go in Florida. ANy opinions would be he...
