   hello I started my nursing "career" in 2012 in the PACU capacity in Houston. However, I left nursing in 2015 to pursue another career interest. Thus I have not practiced nursing in over a year, and I would like to return to nursing. I'm having a h...

2. RNs who quit dialysis

   ffliper27 posted a topic in Urology

   is it common for RNs who begin working in dialysis to resign from their positions? I know a fellow RN who started working with Fresenius at the same time that I did ( about 4 months ago). She has made the decision to resign, because she said it is ...

7. patients coding in dialysis

   ffliper27 replied to ffliper27's topic in Urology

   hi schnookimz, yes I got the job, but not in Acutes...Long story short, when I got to the 3rd interview for acutes, the FA said she had some qualms about me being in acutes because I didn't have ICU experience. But she did say she saw potential in m...

8. patients coding in dialysis

   ffliper27 posted a topic in Urology

   I'm new to dialysis. I hear that pt coding is a sure thing to happen in dialysis. If a pt codes and God forbid, pt dies, could the pts family sue the company and/or you for their loved one's death? that's one of the things that I'm really concerne...

   thanks for that feedback. One more question. I hear that pt coding is a sure thing to happen. If a pt codes and God forbid, pt dies, could the pts family sue the company and/or you personally for their loved one's death? that's one of the things ...

13. Interviewing for dialysis with no dialysis experience???

    ffliper27 replied to bajj78's topic in Urology

    So, as Coleebee mentioned, the acute setting is fast paced. So is the chronic setting "not fast paced"? I would think that chronics is even faster paced, since you might be taking care of up to 10 - 12 patients. I'm somewhat confused.

14. Interviewing for dialysis with no dialysis experience???

    ffliper27 replied to bajj78's topic in Urology

    how is the training for acute different from the training for chronics? Both types of patients are on dialysis. Im just trying to understand why a RN who's been trained in acutes would not be able to do the job of the chronics RN and vice versa

15. Interviewing for dialysis with no dialysis experience???

    ffliper27 replied to bajj78's topic in Urology

    I just had my 2nd interview with Davita last week. I think it would be VERY helpful to know the 7 core values ( they are on the davita site) and its mission statement. I mentioned these to them during my first interview and the fact that I knew the...
