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 by what they are doing to me.

Wow, these are all pretty good salaries. I have been trying to figure out the pay for an LPN in acutes. Are there any out there that maybe able to share a estimation of salaries? I'm in Maryland.

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 manager, adaquacy manager, Back up FA, Head nurse, and have >2.5 years of Dialysis experience, a little over 5 years of nursing.

I guess it all depends on who the manager is. They say it's all about the budget, or could it be the company?

Wow, do you realize they are getting over on you? Even without the CC position you still should be making more money. With the CC position you are taking on more responsibility and they arent even compensating you for that:no:

When I was an LPN I made more than that.

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 expect a higher wage. The ROD laced into the recruiter for even calling me and giving me a heads up on the job posting. When I asked the recruiter any questions he informed me he couldn't answer the questions and I would have to ask my FA(facility administrator) or ROD(regional operating director). I asked the recruiter if he could at least get me a contract and again he stated go to the FA or ROD.

Again it all depends on the management team if you have a bad one then your out of luck (I'm out of luck) continuing to look for a different job, but I don't want to go back to the hospital or nursing home.

Yikes. Seems like you might be in a good position to start applying at the other big dialysis company. Your current company is walking all over you, BUT now you have a great résumé with great experience. Apply up to your level at the other big company and get yourself the compensation you deserve.

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 about changing to something like PACU I know a change will be difficult, and those nurses dont have it easy either, but so was learning Dialysis.

I do love dialysis though, and that's where the upper-ups know that they have me.

Thanks for your support.

The company itself is fine, whether or not you have a good manager and Facility Administrator is another. Think of yourself as working for a company as large as a Chili's restaurant or a Kohl's. they're everywhere. But not all restaurants or department stores are run the same. Davita is a Fortune 500 company. They are run by business men and sometimes your administrator isn't even a nurse. You are a piece on the chess board that makes then $$$. I hope you have a good team, that makes it all worth it.
