1. California Senate Bill 349

   five10fevr replied to reatta89's topic in Urology

   I agree with the staffing ratio's for patient safety. I don't agree with a lot of the other proposed issues. Do you realize that Access rated death are not even in the top 3 of dialysis rated deaths. So making sure that the chair is empty for 45 min...

2. dialysis nursing...i want to run fast and far away

   five10fevr replied to RN yogi's topic in Urology

   ConfuseRN- As a FA myself, you are still considered the charge nurse as you are technically the only RN in the building. You also don't have the proper training to be the charge nurse. To be a charge nurse and to be left alone it takes approximately ...

3. Dialysis Nursing-New Grad

   five10fevr replied to Mmcknight's topic in Urology

   I have worked for two different companies one as a tech and one as a RN. As others have said, you either love it or hate it. You have your good days and your bad days. Your day can have 27 catheter patients with only 2 nurses and it runs smooth or ...

4. Davita Onboarding Process

   five10fevr replied to HenryBood's topic in Urology

   I waited for all my onboarding and background checks to process before I gave my notice and it was weeks to the day. I gave my notice and started. Once I started, I felt it still started slow with online education and I didn't earn a full paycheck f...

5. I finally got into dialysis with Davita

   five10fevr replied to lawandaluxnurse's topic in Urology

   I just started with Davita Acute's. I am not sure what state you are in but in California the pay is lower. Davita pays time and a half after 8 hours and double time after 12 hours. Most hospitals in southern California it is straight time all 12 hou...

6. Davita Acute Nurse Interview

   five10fevr replied to five10fevr's topic in Urology

   I was told by the FA that they would call within 24 and they did. He said he didn't like people hang out waiting. I was also one of the last to interview. Do you have the card of the person you interviewed with? Maybe give them a call to check if the...

9. University of Phoenix RN-BSN

   five10fevr replied to brenda1234's topic in Online Learning

   I am currently on my 7th class at UOP. They took almost all my ADN credits so minus two math classes it is all nursing. You write a paper each week, discussion questions, no real test, and some group projects. It does go by really fast with most clas...

10. Davita Acute Nurse Interview

    five10fevr replied to five10fevr's topic in Urology

    Thank you for the response. Do you think a non-dialysis RN will be okay starting in Acute's vs. Chronic's? I know everyone is different just wanting your opinion.

11. Davita Acute Nurse Interview

    five10fevr posted a topic in Urology

    I currently have an interview next week for an acute dialysis RN. I have never worked as a dialysis RN, but I have a few years of dialysis tech under my belt at a non-davita clinic. I currently work on a busy Med/Surg floor. What are everyone's thoug...

    Absolutely, and best of luck to you. COC has a good program with some awesome instructors. Don't get me wrong there are some instructor's that keep you on your toes. These are the one that you are thankful you had in the long run.

13. COC Fall 2014

    five10fevr replied to drm2013's topic in California

    It took me about 6 months to find a job. I am currently in a BSN online program now, that works with my employer to receive a reduced tuition. The RN to BSN program that COC has with CSUN would be a great option if still available. As many employers ...

14. COC Fall 2014

    five10fevr replied to drm2013's topic in California

    The program is more stressful then other ADN programs out there. In the long run it is better for you. I have been told that by a few different employer they will hire a COC student over another ADN program student because they know we were taught th...
