Davita Tulsa

[bargainhound, RN]

I see ad for open house at Davita in Tulsa and was considering going.

I however, also so on an unrelated search that the hospital it is based in

is on the OSHA target/watch list for 2005 but not 2006.

Any comments/warnings/insights?

Anyone working there now?

I am thinking about it because they offer training to those of us who

have not done dialysis nursing.

I have read posts on the forums here and see there are positive and negative

view points about working for Davita across the USA.

I have also read the info on blood exposures being daily/constant threat, etc.

Some posts said there were as many as 10 patients per nurse.

I don't know that I could safely do that.

Other companies evidently just have one nurse per patient.

The only scenerio in which a Dialysis Nurse would have only 1 patient, would be rendering a dialysis treatment to a patient in ICU. Otherwise, each state dicatates the nurse patient ratio for dialysis. It is never 1:1

Thanks for the reply.

I went to the open house and the facility was nice.

There are other facilities and the jobs would be in them.....possibly

other towns such as Stillwater, Sapulpa.
