Hello. I'm an Air Force RN retiring soon, and looking to explore other nurse specialties other than ICU. I've been doing this 13 years now. Acute dialysis nursing has always interested me. My big question though is what would the training and orientation look like? How likely is it a dialysis company would invest in me(training), with 13 years ICU experience? There's other benefits I can offer a company, like a resume that shows a ton of experience and reliability. I ask all this because I'm entering my last 8-10 years of work before I'd like to be retired from work, so I don't want to start over in nursing. Meaning I would need the right hourly wages that at least somewhat reflect my experience and not those of a brand new RN.
