    rogue_maverick replied to bebe13's topic in Philippines

    @miss_hd Thank you for the acknowledgement. 2 years ago, when I was just counting the days before my HD training ends, your situation was exactly what I had in mind. Back then I had no concrete path...

  2. Training on Dialysis

    rogue_maverick replied to bebe13's topic in Philippines

    You must read Handbooks of Dialysis. I have those by Daugirdas, Gutch, Ahmed, and Oxford University Press. Try starting with the handbook by Gutch, it's the most easy to understand. Those by Daugirdas...

  5. nurses doing tech duties

    rogue_maverick replied to 3cdn1usa's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Where I work it's a different setup. Nurses setup the machine, hook the patient, monitor and administer meds, terminate the treatment, then tear down the lines. We even, at times, wheel the patient to...

    rogue_maverick replied to Libby_09's topic in Philippines

    rogue_maverick replied to tiamee's topic in International Nursing

    Here's what I've been through: I graduated in 2006, then took the NLE the same year. I was already bored a week after the exam so I worked in a bank while waiting for the results. It took 4 months...

    rogue_maverick posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Question: If the patient comes to the facility and for some reason was not dialyzed, but is scheduled to receive his Epo injection, shall we inject the medication or not? And why?

    rogue_maverick replied to rogue_maverick's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    rogue_maverick replied to rogue_maverick's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  19. Training on Dialysis

    rogue_maverick replied to bebe13's topic in Philippines

    Nephrogroup has a Facebook page, but I wouldn't suggest getting in touch with them thru it. It's seldom being updated, and it's more impressive on the part of the company if you actually visit their...

  25. Cautionary tale about 'training' in the UK

    rogue_maverick replied to MaryAnn_RN's topic in International Nursing
