Sad to say, but yes. Just look at how many free-standing dialysis unit have opened up in the last 2 years in Metro Manila alone. There's actually an interplay between supply and demand not only...

Make the most of your training JLLandero. :D

Precisely. Then at least aspiring renal nurses would be more willing to shell out let's say at 25K or 35k pesos, but exposure would include acute and chronic hemodialysis, PD and CRRT. (Even I would...

What? 35K? I wasn't aware it was that expensive. Well, that is an amount that you just can't disregard. But it is still your call. Try also inquiring at NKTI. They have a dialysis nursing training...

I have no exact figure, but what I heard, it will be more or less 20k.

Training concerns from metro manila branches of nephrogroup dialysis centers will be handled by one department, nephro synergies. Please do some back reading on this thread, I have provided the...

But as a renal nurse trained in and who have worked longer in the Philippines than abroad, I still follow the KDOQI guidelines more than the KDIGO. :D

On a similar note, how do you deal with eagerly competitive colleagues? Like the ones who feel and act like they are the charge nurses, to the point that they compete or go against the charge nurse's...

His access doesn't even need a doppler. even a rookie dialysis nurse can cannulate a fistula that mature. Our fingertips would be the doppler probe. :D

@tish88 We use the same Qb for specific needle size but the largest needle we use are 15G. I haven't seen and used 14G dialysis needle yet. I once had a patient on vacation from Europe and as...
