1. DaVita Village

   LadyLovelilocks replied to Islnd_RN's topic in Urology

   If you want to be an FA and enjoy your job, it seems to me you have to be an extreme Type A personality who LOVES working all the time, all day. The kind who is okay with limiting family time/hobbies/outside activities and prioritizes work because it...

2. How is Davita training like?

   LadyLovelilocks replied to jennifer_app's topic in Urology

   The best book I read was this one: Review of Hemodialysis for Nurses by Judith Z. Kallenbach. It is not short. It WILL give you a big leg up for what's to come. You will be able to hit the floor on your first day and have a well-rounded basic concept...

6. Z track for IM injections?

   LadyLovelilocks replied to gnursjr2's topic in Psychiatric

   I find this discussion to be really informative and interesting. In school I was taught that most IM medications are not given via Z-track, only certain irritating ones (compazine was one). They did not recommend using the deltoid for any z-tracks be...

7. Dermatology office pays $13/hour

   LadyLovelilocks replied to 50kn's topic in Ambulatory

   Considering the cost of living in California, no, I would not take that. See if the Doctor would be willing to offer a higher salary- I have heard of nurses on allnurses who were offered salaries like this ($11/hr), and when they refused and named a ...
