  1. Schedulewise...any advice??

    It is as you say: continuous ALL day patient turnover and that leaves very little time for anything other than assessments and passing medications. I do believe there is more change on the horizon though and I'm not sure it will help the situation. I...
  2. CHN Certification with BONENT

    Which Dialysis nurse certification is actually more useful for an ASN Dialysis nurse, the CHN - BONENT or the CDN - ANNA?
  3. I work in a clinic where pts and PCTs pretty much run the place. Wanna leave 15 minutes early? No problem, the PCTs just take the pt off tx and when I ask why they just say because the pt wanted to be done. What?! In my source of knowledge you just d...
  4. Davita Ddialysis Nurse

    Well, unfortunately, I happen to be one who can testify as to how extremely difficult the techs can make your life. I had an episode where I witnessed something very unsafe and pointed it out to the nurse orienting me to my unit. She evidently used m...
  5. Why do you love Dialysis?

    I'm seriously trying to like it. I am finding it hard to stay positive in a negative place. The people I work with generally do not like where they are and have no trouble talking badly about each other and our bosses on a daily basis. They complain ...
  6. New to Dialysis - What's the deal?

    Thanks everyone for you comments and advice. Clodcat, you hit it right on the head. That's my experience to a tee. I try real hard to be wherever I can be to help out as much as possible. I'm still in training and find my self being left alone to "fi...
  7. New to Dialysis - What's the deal?

    @allaboutfun, I sent you a pm. I too feel it is not the company but the clinic I am in. This particular clinic was recently purchased by one of the big companies and I feel that the employees have been in this clinic since it opened and are not very ...
  8. New to Dialysis - What's the deal?

    Just recently started working in a chronic care dialysis clinic. I really want to like this job. Why do they tell you that your training will be blah, blah, blah and then you show up and there is no organization, no one REALLY wants to help you and G...

  13. Indiana State affiliated with College Network

    It is true that TCN is not affiliated with a college, any college. They are strictly a publishing company, they print the learning modules and sell them to students that purchase them through their company. I too used TCN, and was well aware of the f...
  14. CPNE FEELING LOST

    I just tested the end of January, and passed. First, know your mnemonics like the back of your hand (they were key to my passing). Take the ones in Sheri's and compare them to EC's critical elements and then customize them to make them easier for you...
