  2. Will RNs be phased out of dialysis?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to rosiegal's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    RNs do acute dialysis in CA. I'm sure if hospitals ever thought of having techs replace RNS, the CNA would nip that in the bud. $50. an hour. Wow. Travelers don't make that

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to rosiegal's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Calif requires all techs to be certified. Nev does not, Az will require it by the end of 2007. Some states let techs do caths and cannulate, others do not even let them cannulate. Every state is...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't this guy be violating the conditions of his parole every time he stops by the young female pt's room and talks to her? Have these "visits" been documented by staff? I would ask the PO about...

  10. Will RNs be phased out of dialysis?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to rosiegal's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The ICU nurses there have no training whatsoever in dialysis. The tech shows the nurse how to give the Epo in the blood line, then the nurse does it. If a tech needs orders, he gets them from doc, and...

  11. Relocating to Texas

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    The fewest pts I ever had in med surg in TX was 9. The most was 13. This was with no CNA and no unit clerk. I would be very cautious. Using the term "I" is not a

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was just offered a travel contract in Flagstaff (non-hospital job). I had to turn it down as I have another commitment. It would have been exciting to be in the area. Even though the union got voted...
