Hello :-) I'm curious to know how to become a Dialysis Nurse as an RN? What are some of the companies out there that train? How's the demand for it? How rewarding is it? Is there traveling involved? I loooked at Gambro and the sched is 3/12s MWF in L...

Hi, I'm researching about Gambro before I apply. Please share any of your experiences. What other companies could I apply for? Thanks :)

Hi, I've been a BSN, RN for 6 months, working in Neuropsych and now getting bored . I want some excitement in my career. Rehab Nursing, Case Management, and ER Nursing interests me. I know I got to get ACLS, PALS to get into ER. I don't like Med-...

Thank you for pointing that out. I like what I'm doing now, it's just the politic that stresses me out. I guess I need to do more yoga and exercise more. Just got a part-time job in the Registry so this would help me gain more experience in differ...

I haven't learned everything yet where I work now. I think boredom is not the correct word to describe how I feel. A few of my collegues quit in a week due to conflict with the manager. It's quite an uncomfortable and unfriendly atmosphere at work...

Hello everyone :-) I enjoy reading the posts here and sounds like ER nursing is exciting. I have been working in Neuropsychiatry as a new RN for 3 months now and quite frankly, I'm getting bored. I took a Personality Type test even before I passed...

Hi, I want to know the differences of ER and ICU...which is "earsier" for a new grad who is getting ACLS, PALS. How much charting is done in the ICU? Is it a physically hard job being in the ICU? Can an RN refuse to transfuse blood because of reli...

Pardon me for using the word "easier", I didn't mean literally easy. You are right that it really depends on personality types. I just took this personality type test and one of the most fitted careers result is ER Nursing. I like excitement, spon...

Would you experienced ER Nurses ever work in ICU again? Just curious of the differences of those two careers. Thanks.

One more thing...is it smart to take the ACLS and PALS even before I apply for an ER position? What books can I read to give me a good knowledge about ER Nursing?

Thanks to you all for your encouragement. I really want to be an ER Nurse and so I will inquire for the above certifications I need to take and speak to the Manager in our hospital ER. I feel a lil bit bored in Psych. Ciao :-)

I'm in Los Angeles, Ca and have no idea what's the starting pay for a new RN although I currenty work in a hospital. What are the hours usually for MWF? Is dialysis nursing also good for travel nursing? Oh I know I have lots to know yet it's becau...

Thanks for your replies. I'm ordered a book about Dialysis Nursing so I can better decide. Thanks and have a great week.

Thanks! What website can I go to to research more about Dialysis Nursing and certification?

I'm also interested in Dialysis Nursing. One of my patients who is undergoing dialysis told me that he knows RNs who make $100k/year. Is that true? He also suggested an RN who is teaching certification for $5k, is this better than going to Gambro?...

Hi :-) Thanks for your responses. Pickles-each workplace is different and how we deal and perceive other's behavior is up to us. I do experience work stress sometimes coz of the attitude of my collegues, but it's ok. I cope by prayers, doing yoga...

Hello :-) I'm curious to know how to become a Dialysis Nurse as an RN? What are some of the companies out there that train? How much is the starting pay and potential? How's the demand for it? How rewarding is it? Thanks and have a nice day :-)

Hello everyone, I'm a very new RN and in the process of looking for a hospital job. I have an interview on Tuesday in Telemetry for their New Grad Program. Please share with me any suggestions. What made you choose Cardiac Nursing? How do you li...

Hello, I'm a new RN and now in the process of job hunting. I have an interview in Oncology for the New Grad Program. Could anyone please share with me suggestions. Why did you choose Oncology Nursing? What are some of your challenges? What do yo...

The ADN is a faster and less expensive entryway into professional nursing practice than the BSN degree but it has its limitations. It is a great starting point but you would be wise to carefully weigh the result of allowing this to remain your termi...

Thanks Hidi74! Great you are going for Nursing! How long do you have to go? You can do it!

Hello :-) I'm so excited coz I got my first interview for Peds on Monday! I'm a new Rn in CA. Can anyone share with me your experience in interviews for PICU, Peds? Please give me any tips or suggestions on how to ace the interview. I love taking ...

Thank you for your suggestions. This is my first time looking for a job and I'd like to know if it is OK to call the Director of Nursing myself instead of the Nurse Recruiter. I found that since I do not have recent acute care experience I get scre...

Thanks for the info :-)

I found out that I passed NCLEX today. Now, am looking for a job. Could anyone please tell me if someone who has no hospital experience can get into Home Health Nursing? What are the reputable agencies in Los Angeles, CA? I'll appreciate if anyon...
