Discussion

out of nursing field for 20 yrs.

Hello,

I am a stay at home mom out of nursing now for 20 yrs. I am interested in getting back into the nursing profession. I am also interested in dialyis. I was wondering if an RN can become a dialysis tech. to learn more about dialysis? I mean actually take a dialysis tech program, then get a job as a tech for experience. Then when have a year or two of tech experience try to then get a job as RN. Is that feasible? Or does that jeopordize your nursing license some way? Thanks for your help.

    If your license is in good standing and you're not required to take a refresher course or something like that you won't be able to work below your RN level. So I'd check with your State Nursing Board as to your license status.

    As a dialysis RN you will learn all the tech duties and then add on the RN duties.

    Good luck.
