I have 3 semesters left after receiving the license because it is a graduate program. There are total of 7 or 8 semesters depending on how it is planned out and nclex is taken after the 5th semester. then students have the option to take time off from school or finish the rest of the program or go to school part time and finish the program within 5 years.

Hello, I seriously want to become a dialysis nurse in the bay area. I am thinking about starting out as a tech since they will not hire anyone without dialysis experience. I also prefer to learn all the aspects of the dialysis clinic and would not mind starting out as a tech even with a rn license. Will they hire a rn as a tech? Recently, i got my rn license but still have 3 full semesters left until I graduate. Most of my classmates have found jobs. However because of the shortage of opportunities currently existing in the bay area for new grads, most of them are working in the units and facility they prefer not to be in. I am thinking, even if I start out in med surg, I will still have to find an opportunity down the road for someone to train me in order for me to transition into career in dialysis. I would greatly appreciate anyone's input on this. Thanks.
