1. Future of Dialysis????

   nlovell replied to Fink's topic in Urology

   There is nothing Obama (or any other president) could do, no law he could sign, that would eliminate or even reduce dialysis in the foreseeable future. A "artificial wearable kidney" would be a major development for ESRD patients, for sure, but it's ...

2. Acute dialysis?

   nlovell replied to fmcdialysisrn's topic in Urology

   Acutes isn't for the weak, that's for sure! I've been in dialysis for over 8 years now. I've worked at Davita and FMC, as a floor RN, charge RN, clinic manager and now acute RN. I truly didn't think I'd enjoy it, but it's turned out great. Yep, the o...

4. PCT C.E for recertification (CCHT, NNCC, Bonent, etc.) Michigan

   nlovell replied to nlovell's topic in Urology

   Hello darling!! I miss you terribly and I'm so happy you are doing well :) I moved out of the Detroit area a couple years ago, gave up all the management stress and moved out here to southwestern Michigan by Lake Michigan. I still work for FMC but as...

   nlovell posted a topic in Urology

   Godd afternoon! I'm trying to hunt up some info for my techs. i assumed that since I can find a thousand sites for C.E. for nurses, it would be the same for CCHTs but nope! Can anyone give me some good websites, or any info, regarding earning C.E.'s ...

7. So frustrated with new LVN training!

   nlovell replied to GeauxNursing's topic in Urology

   Gotta love Davita LOL...unfortunately, I don't care what company you work for, seems like the training is the same: catch it when and how you can!

8. Anyone been at a clinic taken over by DaVita or FMS?

   nlovell replied to wordsmith's topic in Urology

   I agree that FMC technology isn't up to Davita's...that was a hard thing to deal with! I'm still going to stick with a company that employs the support staff I work with...I sincerely feel that, technology notwithstanding, we are making a difference ...

   nlovell replied to wordsmith's topic in Urology

   Wow. Seems like there's no straddling the fence on this topic!! My first experience with dialysis was with Davita, as a floor nurse, then Charge Nurse. Their training for me, as an RN w/less than 2 years of experience (and only med/surg) was extensiv...

10. A problem with CNAs

    nlovell replied to olli975's topic in General Nursing

    I've always found the best way to work with ANY staff is to be up-front about what you expect. Clearly state your expectations and limits. If you want VS and accuchecks taken before 8am, then say it. I worked in an ECF for a short while and I handled...

11. i need to VENT!

    nlovell replied to sakura_RN's topic in NCLEX

    Hold on. Take a deep breath for a minute and think about what you're saying. You failed the NCLEX on the first try and now because you're having a hard time studying for a test that is important to you, you've suddenly become the stupidest person on ...
