hi to all r.n. i didn't know that dialysis nurses are paid less compared with nurses of other specialties.in my country, philippines they aren't paid that much.it's the same with nurses in the wards, of course depending on the no. of years of experience but the advantage is, you get free training in a big nephro hospital. i'm also new with dialysis department and i enjoyed it very much. the work is routinary but you have to be very careful with the patient's complains, you should be technically skilled with the machine andmost importantly, have universal precautions. i like this forum, it's gives me a lot of insight and i can also posts my concerns.thank you!!!:)
