Clinical Manager with Fresenius questions

idodialysis · Oct 26, 2015

Are you currently working in dialysis? Really it depends on several things: is your facility staffed with reliable and competent nurses and techs? Is the person who would be your direct supervisor involved, experienced and engaged? Is there good technical (biomedical) support? Is the medical director involved, approachable and willing to work with you.

Not currently in dialysis but have worked as an RN in a facility previously. Those are some darn good questions for an interview so thank you!

Just don't know much about this company so was curious of others thoughts. I have previous management experience and hoping to advance in the future. And I was contacted regarding this job so I didn't seek it out but always like to keep my options open.

Also ascertain whether or not there is a charge RN who can assist in the day to day function of the floor and cover call offs. If not you will have to do it and will be unable to get your own work done without working a 60-70 hour week. Ask how recently a CMS survey was done and what if any were the citations.

I have been working in dialysis for 5 years and I in no way know it all about dialysis. I learn something all the time. But I'm inquisitive and need to know the why behind everything. I personally wouldn't want a manager who didn't know anything except "book info" about dialysis. It's a real art learning it. No degree can teach how it really flows out there. I definitely think a manager should be a competent safe floor nurse first, then charge nurse then manager.
