You are 100% correct. If you have horrible management then it sucks to be us, but if your one of the lucky ones then great for you. It is unfair practices happening to both you and me, and how many...

If only there would be some compitition in the area. I keep my eyes open for full time work. I do not like to travel, maybe that's my problem. I have been putting CC on my resume, also thinking...

So sorry you are going through this, it just shouldn't be. You must have the same Managers (FA) (ROD's) that I have. Sounds like they're covering their back side. If you transfer it sure wont be in...

Oh I realize they are getting more than one over on me, but there is no one to talk to about this, the higher ups all stick together, each one states I'm already doing the same job so why should I...

There are no Fresenius in our area, wish there were more competition. Maybe put a bug in their ear to open more facilities in WI. I would apply in a heartbeat. I love dialysis, but am heartbroken...

Thanks Marisette, That's what I thought use the title on my applications, seems as if there is always someone to replace you no matter where you go, so when they threatened to give the other nurse...

Are you also working for Davita??

Where in WI do you work? I'm a chronic dialysis nurse in WI making 24.03/hour just got the title of Clinical Coordinator which they stated was a lateral move, anemia manager, infection control...

That's what I thought just continue working with the Clinical Coordinator title for awhile and I plan on applying elsewhere d/t the fact that I can't take too much more titles with no pay. Who can be...

Well, just today, I did agree to this position and I was told this is a (lateral) position meaning no pay increase. I did ask for a raise and the management told me no, no pay increase because I...

Thank you iluvivt this is exactly what I wanted. Doc did state that if I felt uncomfortable with the cath removal he would come to the facility and remove the cath. I may have him come just so I can...

This is going to happen in the outpatient clinic, the patient will have to be sitting in the chair. I will not have all the material that you suggest, not sure if we even have sterile gloves. How...

Hi all, Hope you can help. Does anyone have a P&P to remove a temporary catheter? This will be my first time to remove a temp cath and was just wondering what or how others went about it. My...

Next time this happens, do what you can, then you give report and let the on-coming nurse take over, state you would love to continue to finish what was started, but can't d/t overtime. If she...

Thank you so much for the wonderful reply. You do get it. The ironic thing is, I had received a special award from the ROD for just that thing the middle of Dec. 2012 and was told the unit wouldn't...

Does anyone have information or best practice articles on when is the best time to give the normal dialysis meds such as EPO, Iron, Hectorol. I have a nurse on the unit that the first second the pt...

I guess I'll be drawing unemployment. As I won't give up my unit. I still feel like a knife has been twisted in my gut, and the rug has been pulled out from my feet.

The thing is they need a nurse for the other unit, to cover open shifts. Also there were 2 techs one that had been there since the facility was open 4 years and the other one with 1 year at the...
