   PDHDRN replied to maxilla's topic in General Nursing

   DaVita would never pay $28 an hour to a new Grad RN lol believe me, I'd day they'd start you around $25 Pay's not great but benefits are okay Every person that refers a PCT gets $250, RN for $500 in DaVita, I think that may be the reason your friends...

2. Question about nursing and 12 hours shifts.

   PDHDRN replied to timn420's topic in Men

   PDHDRN replied to bren3299's topic in General Nursing

9. Epogen SC administration

   PDHDRN replied to Lacie's topic in Urology

   I work in PD and HD and we had always given Epo SC in PD and IVP in HD. Epo works longer if it's given SC. I believe CMS does not recommmend Epo to given SC to HD pts.
