New Nurse and I dont think dialysis is for me HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cindy 17]

Hi all

I need some advice I'am a recent graduate from this pass May I have my associates and I'am currently enrolled in a acclerated BSN program I had a problem not finding a job because I didnot have my BSN I always had a interest in Renal and I have been employed at my job for two months and I donot think that Renal (espically in a chronic unit) is for me. I really want to work in the hospital on like a Medsurg or a Tele unit, but becuase i dont have my BSN I'am not qualified. I also fear that I'am forgetting alot of my skills from nursing school becuase I'am a dialysis nurse I really dont do that much but push the same meds over and over again There is really not alot of critical thinking, assesment skills that I have to use. My problem is I make great money as a new grad 28.00/hr and I was thinking that once i get my BSN in a little over a year i would try to get a job at a hospital but I'am not sure if i can use dialysis as experience as a nurse because the hospitals here in philadelphia maybe start their new grads off anywhere between 25-28/hr and i cannot afford to take a pay cut. Please Help also do you guys know of any courses that I can take as a refresher if I'am trying to get into Telementry. I was so good at that in nursing school but like the old saying goes if you dont use it you loose it
