Fresenius home pd traveling RN

Published

Hello everyone!

I have the opportunity to apply for a position with Fresenius. It's an RN position for home PD but I would be based out of the clinic unless there are new pts that need training. From what I understand, it sounds like case managing- education, home visits as needed, meeting with a team to update files and care plans, etc etc. I also would have a full week of call every 4-5 weeks, though the person I spoke with said it's mostly things that are handled over the phone as the home pts are very knowledgeable about their tx.

I have 2 yrs med/surg/inpt rehab experience as an lpn, 2 yrs ltc as cna, and my rn experience is 1 yr med/surg/er as well as almost 2 yrs home health with multiple handicapped, trach, vented, gt/jg tubes pediatric clients (I spend my whole shift with 1 client, not going from home to home). I am a ft employee but have been working 48-60hrs/week since March, night shift, 2 wknds/month and 8 or 12 hr shifts. I'd need to replace my current income of approximately $30/hr and have the option of decent family coverage for a reasonable cost if needed. I'd also like to cut down on my hours and work a more regular ft schedule. I live in Mn, if that matters for pay. I also would love to eventually travel.

Does anyone currently work for Fresenius that can give me some advice on whether it's a decent job, salary position worth it or work a lot of hours, call for a full week???, is pd in demand for traveling or is it mainly acute/inpt/hd, etc. I know fresenius has a travel program itself. Does anyone have experience with this?

Thank you for any and all advice you can give me! I'm interested in dialysis but want to make sure I know more of what to expect before I apply.
