Thanks for your response, but I'm dumb I have seen the APN title just want to know what is this title? I was also told that I could do promote to teaching. If I were to ever learn myself, (smile) I would maybe like to do some staff teaching or training.

Just wanted to ask are you working in outpatient dialysis clinic and if so is the work physically demanding-standing on your feet 10 or 12 hrs? Just curious how tired are you when you get off.:)

I am changing nursing careers- 48 yrs old, I am currently in UM management at an insurance company, going into dialysis, 10 hr days- I thout it was very taxing on your body 10 hrs on your feet? am I wrong? I too, miss providing hands on care- too sedentary for me as well.

Hi, I am a registered nurse with 11 yrs of experience, 4.5 yrs of recent expeirence in Utilization management with a national insurance company, other insurance mostly LTC and some PRN rehab, PRN med surg, with most of this experience being done during the night shifts. I have accepted a new position as a dialysis nurse with a outpatient clinic-wondering if any one can give me any suggestions- 48 yr old nurse who has been "office nursing" for the last 2.5 yrs. Any suggestions-? I am not that up on the labs, but I think my assessment and interpersonal skills are excellent, I have always done well in this area-not that good with IV skills though, anybody have any suggestions to help me get back into the groove of nursing patient care -especially with dialysis? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thansk pinkrn1
