3. Switching from dialysis nurse to any other department

   rnbob replied to sausage gut's topic in Urology

   She is right, dialysis is a specialty-a highly specialized specialty in my estimation. It is a field more properly reserved for someone with critical care experience, in fact it used to be a requirement for employment. She is likely already aware tha...

   rnbob replied to cookiemonster84's topic in Urology

   I too found it difficult getting up at 4am, I am rarely asleep before 11, but am sometimes overcome by 7pm. My days off are largely spent in bed recooperating from work. As I adjust to a new job, I am able to sleep less, since so much of the work is ...
