1. Tips for Davita phone interview

   MizChelleRN replied to heronurse's topic in Urology

   You'll want to stress your abilities to lead others, to hold your team accountable for policy and procedure. You'll want to emphasize your ability to make smart clinical decisions quickly, how you are in an emergency, and extra attention to detail.

2. Tips for Davita phone interview

   MizChelleRN replied to heronurse's topic in Urology

   Sometimes "panel interview" just means the manager pulls in some of the other employees (so they can feel you our as a potential coworker!). Sometimes a couple managers get together because we're both hiring and we interview you at the same time and ...

   What a great memory, posting these a few years ago. I did end up in management and I love it! It's challenging but I found my niche. Love it.

5. Did you get unemployment?

   MizChelleRN replied to StillRN's topic in Recovery

   I was blessed that my employer told me, apply for unemployment, we will not fight it. Just get better. And they were true to their word. Not bragging about it, but I didn't realize that isn't usually the case. Curious to see what others say.

6. UFR and adequacy

   MizChelleRN posted a topic in Urology

   Can someone explain this one to me? Maybe it's dialysis 101 but I honestly don't remember. The details probably don't matter but the patient had no reason to run yellow amp. (Good AVF, long run, 14g, etc) usually set to run even, no fluid gains betwe...

7. Membrane size and cardiovascular status?

   MizChelleRN posted a topic in Urology

   First, let me say, I LOVE that our subforum is really active lately! I am so passionate about dialysis and networking ideas with fellow nephrology peeps. So.....recently I had a conversation with a colleague. We were trouble shooting ways to get flu...

9. patient has history is of HIT , what kind of the anticoagulant can be used for dialysis

   MizChelleRN replied to uae808's topic in Urology

   This is a great conversation. Not sure either if it "prevents" clotting, but it gives me a chance to clear the drip chambers so I can see what's going on with them. If they are getting thicker, with blood sticking around the walls of the chambers, th...

10. patient has history is of HIT , what kind of the anticoagulant can be used for dialysis

    MizChelleRN replied to uae808's topic in Urology

    I've used a continuous infusion to prevent clotting before too. I've seen it hooked to both arterial or venous lines. I prefer hooking to the venous line, bc I figure art line clotting is less likely bc it's so close to the patient. Hooking it to the...

    I never want to feel again, what you feel now. It may be the scariest, worst moment of your life but I promise it will produce love, happiness and success beyond what you can dream today. Stop being controlled by your disease. Join the fight and let'...

12. Would You Report Me for This?

    MizChelleRN replied to cupquake's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like maybe a verbal coaching or counseling would be appropriate here. Something doesn't sit right with me on how you engaged this other family member on, "oh she usually does take it"....like I wouldn't discuss another patient's habits or act...

14. What would you have done?

    MizChelleRN replied to chicago_RN's topic in Home Health

    Agree 911 should have been called but honestly she was probably seen way faster the way it actually happened.

15. I am a new nurse and I had a pt make a false accusation.

    MizChelleRN replied to newnurse34's topic in Relations

    Especially as the charge nurse earlier that day rolled her eyes and sighed "ohhhh that patient"....and then went on to come at you like that. Plus you said you and your preceptor were floats to that unit that day. Seems they could have come to you, t...
