  2. Tips for Davita phone interview

    MizChelleRN replied to heronurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    You'll want to stress your abilities to lead others, to hold your team accountable for policy and procedure. You'll want to emphasize your ability to make smart clinical decisions quickly, how you are...

  3. Tips for Davita phone interview

    MizChelleRN replied to heronurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Sometimes "panel interview" just means the manager pulls in some of the other employees (so they can feel you our as a potential coworker!). Sometimes a couple managers get together because we're both...

  5. Looking for clinical managers!

    MizChelleRN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    So I am considering putting in for my clinic's facility manager position. I think I'm aware of most of the pros and cons of it but am looking for a CM who doesn't regret doing it. Is the pay increase...

  6. Looking for clinical managers!

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

    What a great memory, posting these a few years ago. I did end up in management and I love it! It's challenging but I found my niche. Love

  7. Did you get unemployment?

    MizChelleRN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was blessed that my employer told me, apply for unemployment, we will not fight it. Just get better. And they were true to their word. Not bragging about it, but I didn't realize that isn't usually...

  8. UFR and adequacy

    MizChelleRN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Can someone explain this one to me? Maybe it's dialysis 101 but I honestly don't remember. The details probably don't matter but the patient had no reason to run yellow amp. (Good AVF, long run, 14g,...

  9. Membrane size and cardiovascular status?

    MizChelleRN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Oh and I wanted to mention watching what the kecn is doing with those dialyzer fibers clotting

  11. patient has history is of HIT , what kind of the anticoagulant can be used for dialysis

    MizChelleRN replied to uae808's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    This is a great conversation. Not sure either if it "prevents" clotting, but it gives me a chance to clear the drip chambers so I can see what's going on with them. If they are getting thicker, with...

  12. patient has history is of HIT , what kind of the anticoagulant can be used for dialysis

    MizChelleRN replied to uae808's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I've used a continuous infusion to prevent clotting before too. I've seen it hooked to both arterial or venous lines. I prefer hooking to the venous line, bc I figure art line clotting is less likely...

  13. New RN in crisis

    MizChelleRN replied to Keebs1125's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. What would you have done?

    MizChelleRN replied to chicago_RN's topic in Home Health

    Agree 911 should have been called but honestly she was probably seen way faster the way it actually

  16. I am a new nurse and I had a pt make a false accusation.

    MizChelleRN replied to newnurse34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Especially as the charge nurse earlier that day rolled her eyes and sighed "ohhhh that patient"....and then went on to come at you like that. Plus you said you and your preceptor were floats to that...

  19. App to alt program=turned into police?

    MizChelleRN replied to OhioRN1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Actually a really high percentage of us were in that same situation. They walk hand in hand, and that's a good thing. The BON and the law each know you are being monitored by the other. Which is not...

  21. Davita Do or Don't?

    MizChelleRN replied to mamaluvsbaseball's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Davita is good for allowing a candidate to shadow for a few hours to see if they are a good fit. An independent chain in NE Ohio did the same for me. You really don't know what goes on in dialysis...

  22. Probationary Terms Commonly Offered

    MizChelleRN replied to morningglory123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well. I would say this. In Ohio some rules could be amended on the contract depending on the situation. You have to have a solid hold on the program: no missed calls, screens, put above average...

  23. 2 job offers

    MizChelleRN replied to Bbddll13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You know what I realized about pay? (This is probably veering off topic) but no matter how much I make hourly, my paychecks seem about the same! After taxes, benefits, 401k, your take home is nearly...

  24. 2 job offers

    MizChelleRN replied to Bbddll13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I love hemodialysis but it really truly is a love it or hate it specialty. Your comment about a year in dialysis should land you a hospital job is probably untrue, sometimes I think we get...

  25. I asked one simple question...

    MizChelleRN replied to TLSpaz's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm unclear too....did you bring all this used stuff out into the hall or to the nurse's station? Or was this still in the exam
