Hello! I'm an RN with a year's experience in Med Surg. I just applied for a job as a dialysis nurse. I was under the impression that the position was for the chronic clinic, however, it is for acute care. The manager assurred me that I would recieve adequate training in the chronic clinic before going into the hospitals. I was curious if it is common for a new dialysis nurse to work in the acute setting. I am comfortable with medical and surgical patients in the hospital, it's the dialysis process that intimidates me. Any input would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
