  1. Erythropoeitin Administration

    just keep swimming replied to rogue_maverick's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  2. New grad Dialysis RN, or keep applying for acute care/subacute care jobs?

    just keep swimming replied to kujomonster's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I totally agree with this post. I have been in dialysis many years and I know that if it is not what you want to do, you will not be happy there. Training is very intensive, and as PP said, very...

  3. Question about precepting

    just keep swimming replied to missladyrn's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I have never been paid extra to train in a new nurse. I have been told that education is part of a nurses job. Besides, it takes much longer to train in a PCT than just the nursing part. I don't...

    Plzzzzz help! Quick! My patient doesn't have a pulse and is a full code, do I start CPR now or should I wait for someone to help me. I'm a new nurse and we didn't have a code during my training!...

  10. Heparin Bolus Contraindications

    just keep swimming replied to newgradrn2011's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I would assume the reason to hold heparin would be due to the risk of hemmorhagic stroke with elevated BP's. That being said, in my 7 years in HD, I have never held heparin for this reason. As said...

  11. FA Making us fill home pill boxes.

    just keep swimming replied to uberdialysisnurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    We are not allowed to do it due to liability and infection control issues. I even wanted to do it for a patient who is illiterate and does not qualify for home care, but was not allowed to. We do...
