5. Chronic dialysis clinic hours

   finallyRN7 replied to finallyRN7's topic in Urology

   Thanks for responding. No, this clinic is for chronic hemodialysis patients. I just find the hours 9-5 to be too clear-cut; I'm thinking it's only for the patients' knowledge of when the doors open, but staff arriving much sooner. ????

12. VA Operating Room Nurse

    finallyRN7 replied to finallyRN7's topic in Government

    Okay, so nursing in the OR is a specialty, so I'm not clear about what you mean when you say specialty. Do you mean that each VA's OR only perform specific types of surgeries? Would you please elaborate what you mean by specialty? Thanks.

    finallyRN7 replied to finallyRN7's topic in Urology

    Thanks wanna. Those are insane hours. Do you always get paid for your overtime? From what I understand there can be as many as 12 or more patients to tend with only one RN. That just doesn't sound safe. I find dialysis interesting because you stay b...
