Beautifully written, an awesome account of an unusual day!!! I have often joked about initiating "drive-thru dialysis", but have never come that close!!?

There are so many. Do not be too hard on yourself if you miss some of them the first few times. I found that there was a new question that I had missed on each assignment. Call pay? Floating? Bonus? What's included with housing? Mileage for flo...

Yea, I'ld like to hear that also:):balloons:

We used to be more not for-profit here too, and those facilities are historically staffed with licensed staff too.

That rocks!! Your clinic is very lucky indeed!!

Interesting that you are running primarily with licenced staff. Are you a for profit or not for profit clinic??

The state is my next venue, as a former employee of the same company, I am not being taken seriously. I wish that I could wave a wand over it and make it better, but, I spent 2 years with these guys and couldn't effect change....so it is going to re...

I know. I have spoken to the FA, without his permission, and she always says that she will speak w/the primary offenders...which she must actually NEVER do, as the behavior does NOT change!! I wish that there were some way for me to speak to those ...

As a dialysis nurse of 17 years, having done acutes and chronics...and the wife of a dialysis patient....I encourage you to use another site if possible, however, with dialysis patients that is not always the case!! It much better to use a site that...

Someone needs to be in communication with the ECF!! As Nurse Manager in my clinics, I have handled this in varying degrees. I have called the ECF to come clean up the patient. I have sent the patient back to the facility to be cleaned up. If the ...

I have to say thank you for all of your responses. I worked for DaVita for nearly 2 years, the first 5 months were actually with Gambro. I found it very interesting that the fact that there was a buyout in place was never mentioned during the inter...

How is it that you are now 3 shifts/6 days/wk and your sister clinic in Daytona is down to 2 shifts/6 days/wk?? Interesting.

Document, document, document. We too move all non-com pts to 3rd shift MWF, I have been considering TRS second shift, but my teammates are against this......

i think that you have all been hiding out in my clinics. i am a clinical nurse manager, the company i am w/changed hands a yr ago, i had only been in the company for 6 months, and was already in my second clinic; i am now in a 3rd. all 3 of these a...

I am here all week. 575 N. Clyde Morris, Suite B. 258-7322:nurse:

We are happy to train you. We have a new nurse in training right now. Can you start Monday? :groupwelcome:

Ever consider Dialysis?

Yeah, we would all prefer better staffing. Unfortunately that is not the reality in most situations. We all do the best we can to keep our patients safe and give them the best care possible every day. We unfortunatly have numbers to make, but the tru...

How long have you been a nurse? I always base training time on individual needs and strengths. The most important thing to remember is that you know what you know and if you aren't comfortable say so. If you don't know, ask. And there is no such ...

what part of florida are you in? what is the staffing ratio? reuse?

As a traveler, I did it all. Acutes, chronics, peds, FMC, DaVita, hospital based, etc....worked for several different companies. There are openings almost anywhere that you would want to go. If you want to know more, let me know. It is great, for...

Well, as I say, the only way to find anything is to ask....so...anyone interested in giving dialysis a try, DaVita Daytona Beach would love to speak with you, or more importantly, see you:) ttyl:monkeydance:

Come to Daytona Beach. Learn a new skill. Join a great company. I am a nurse manager for a DaVita clinic here in the Daytona Beach area and we hire nurses and techs without experience and train them. It's worth a thought.:) Good Luck!

First of all congratulations to you and your husband on making it through nursing school. Second, as a former traveler and current nurse manager, I would not under any circumstances recomment travel nursing as a first job. Travelers are expected to...

I saw the DBCC and had to reply. Any interest in dialysis nursing? I am nurse manager with a DaVita Clinic on Clyde Morris, and would love to get some new blood into our clinic. We will train you from the ground up, and when you get accepeted into...
