Thank you WORDSMITH for sharing your experience with privately-owned freestanding facility. I am currently weighing my options weather to apply in Davita, Fresenius or a non-profit dialysis facility. I am currently working in the Med-Surg area and i'd like to shift into another area of nursing which i am considering nephrology nursing. I am interested though with Davita's NOCTURNAL DIALYSIS...coz as the other nurses posted regarding 1st shift, 2nd and 3rd shift, the stress is overwhelming aside from the techs and other co-workers that you need to bear with. Can any NOCTURNAL NEPHROLOGY NURSE out there share your experience on this shift. Thank you.

Thank you for your response happybunny. You have given me a great insight on nephrology nursing . However, I am also reading some posts here on past DAVITA dialysis nurses and almost all feedbacks are on the NEGATIVE side... so guess the FRESENIUS FACILITY is better than the DAVITA although when i look at dialysis directories, i observed that DAVITA is visible in every state. ...,,,

HellO. I'd like to ask the following regarding this topic: > what are the main requirements to be qualified for a CNN exam? > Does the facilities you work in give additional compensation once you pass this test? > Is dialysis nursing financially and professionally fulfilling vs. other nursing specialty area?:nuke: > Could anyone quote the salary of a dialysis nurse receive per hour. > Are the facilities (dialysis clinics) give the same benefits compared to working in the hospital like the health insurance, 401K, etc..:heartbeat To those who will respond on my inquiries...Thanks a lot!!!!
