Clinical Coordinator

Hi everyone,

I am a RN with over 16 years of experience but new to dialysis. I am being offered a Clinical Coordinator position in a new dialysis center near by. I would be completely shifting to a new specialty I currently work at one of top 5 ER's in the nation as a charge nurse/ flow coordinator. I know I will have to go through training and such to learn the dialysis process but I was hoping to gain some insights about the role and what a day could consist of.  I have been wanting to transition to a position that has more administrative tasks. 
I really appreciate any insight that can be provided. Also if you currently work as a dialysis nurse or tech I would love to know what you think could be done to make a better positive place to work. 
 

Thanks!!

KP

    Hello:

    Welcome if your thinking of doing this new role. I have been in this field for 20 years and  It has alot of different angles to it. Are you supervising nurses? I am the coordinator and only nurse at my hospital so not much supervising with that being said I am in charge of all supply orders, machine care I.e. weekly disinfection, filter changes, to making sure reports fall in line with AAMI standards etc. If you like a challenge then this will be good. Learning the machines and accesses are probably the hardest part. I feel it is rewarding and kind of an art to be able to remove fluids etc without making the patient's more sick.  I also really enjoy vascular access aspects of this field. So welcome if you decide that this is venture worth taking on .
