All of the above is what I do daily except I have 3 shifts of 15 patients or 45 patiens a day. I agree that I never thought I could work so fast - but safety of the patient, and me, is my highest...

PCC Climb has a course January 28 & 29 2013 that I plan to take in IV therapy. It is expensive for 2 full days but I have tuition reimbursement as well. I hope it doesn't get cancelled again!

I've been an RN at DaVita in Oregon for almost a year now. Dialysis was new to me as well and it's a whole different ball game! I don't know about pay in L.A. but pay here is less than hospitals. The...

The course was cancelled. $350 up front is a lot of money for a 2 day course but I want to take it; also, my current job has tuition reimbursement. Maybe it will come up again for the winter term.

I don't know of anyone offering internships or I would be there! I understand Mt. Hood Community College has a perioperative nursing course coming up this winter or spring. After taking that, you...

I would like to get a feel for what the range of pay for dialysis nurses is in Oregon. I received my ADN in nursing and my RN license in July 2011. I have been working as a staff nurse in a 15...

You bet they are rachel33138! I am cannulating 2 pts and putting them on and off so far. Next week (I think) I start with my nursing preceptor.

I graduated with my ADN last June and am working in a dialysis clinic. They are training me to do the tech job before the nursing part so that I will know what dialysis is all about as well as being...

I am a new grad (June 2011) and there are no jobs here in Oregon. I have a temp job that is ending this month and no full employment options in this area at all. If you have an opportunity for a...

Like others have said, looking back and second guessing is a waste of time. I 'misspent' my younger years in lower paying jobs in the medical field, then became a medical assistant for a few years...

I'm just saying that new grads have a tough time. It doesn't matter if you are an ADN or a BSN, they all want experience. That's the one thing new grads don't have!

SEIU is a Union at Kaiser that does not represent nurses. OFNHP represents the nurses. http://www.ofnhp.org/aboutus/whoweare

I graduated from Portland Community College ADN program this June :nurse:. The job market here is really rough, many employers require IV certification, med/surg certification, etc. Of course, new...

As a BSN you will have better luck finding a job. I graduated in June from an ADN program and had worked at Kaiser for over 20 years in a non RN position. They have nothing for new grads at all;...

The job requires a BSN and two (2) years experience and I'm a new grad ADN, so unfortunately they won't even look at my resume. :cry: But, the posting is still up for all you BSN's, go for it!

I'm a new grad RN in Oregon. Two months after getting my license and still no job. Some leads but nothing solid. Is agency nursing a good idea for new grads?

I visited a friend at Kaiser at the end of May and saw the Union notice on the board in the break room. The number was 50 nurses to be laid off. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to read the whole thing....
