your input please...

hello all...I am new to this forum but not to allnurses.

First a little about me -I have been a nurse for 5 years, variety of settings, currently enrolled in an FNP program part-time to finish in 2008. Have been having major issues getting my current employer to work with me on scheduling with school...had always been interested in nephrology & dialysis because it seems patients in renal failure have such complex physiological and psychosocial issues...plus I like the idea of bonding with patients...had interviewed for 3 dialysis positions over the last 5 yrs and no one wanted to take on anyone with no exp. at the time.

Lo and behold, a local operation that is expanding from 3 to 6 days a week called me the other day to come in and talk to them. They still had my resume and contact info from 4 years ago (I was amazed). At the time I first moved to this area I had dropped off a resume and talked to the one RN who was getting the place up and running - they werent even taking patients yet. At the time they could not take on someone with no experience, and I understood that. So I was truly surprised to hear from them again! I figured I had nothing to lose so went in and interviewed...really liked the people I interviewed with - a manager and a nephrologist. They were interviewing one other person, so, again, I put it out of my mind thinking that they would certanly choose the other candidate.

Today they offered me the job. They are offereing me more than I am making now as my base salary...a decent day schedule (I work nights now and HATE it)...they are totally willing to work around my days off that I need each week for class....it is like heaven opened up and dumped this in my lap when I was really starting to get desperate.

I am just worried that it might be too good to be true...so please share with me what you love and hate about dialysis...be honest. Right now I have no good reason not to take this job!
