  3. What should EVERY nurse know about Dialysis

    NDXUFan replied to Twink's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    No, I do NOT call the on-call RN in the middle of night. I call them during the standard work day. Trust me, I know how much I hated that as a police

  5. What should EVERY nurse know about Dialysis

    NDXUFan replied to Twink's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    As a dialysis patient, 99 percent of this information is true, but, not always. I have very low potassium and calcium levels. Even when I was In-Center, I had to take potassium and calcium...

  10. Indiana University Nursing vs Davita Management of Nursing

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

    I would have to see the stats, but, it would not surprise me. For profit places like Davita and Fresenius have much higher costs in the long-term, because of the required costs of hospital stays from...

  11. Indiana University Nursing vs Davita Management of Nursing

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

    The transplant process is very hypocritical. If someone needs a transplant, their wallet is scanned for funds to perform so the hospital can profit to the average tune of $250,000. Yet, the same...

  12. Late patients

    NDXUFan replied to kdunurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Yes, this is what I have been asking for, treat dialysis patients like adults, not babies or infants. Yes, sometimes, in my area, they will be late, because I live in a big metro county and people...

  14. Late patients

    NDXUFan replied to kdunurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

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

    My RN sister said that they received food from drug reps, every single day at the physician's office, most of my family is in Nursing. Dragonfly: The other day I went to dialysis and after about 1...

  16. Indiana University Nursing vs Davita Management of Nursing

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

    I realize that many Nursing people really try to make dialysis bearable, sadly, my complaints are directed at a small minority. If the small minority behaved as the majority, there would not be an...

  17. Indiana University Nursing vs Davita Management of Nursing

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

    Chisca: I would have to agree with your definition. I would not have an issue with Davita and Fresenius if they were in a truly competitive market, think just about every other industry or field, cell...

  18. Indiana University Nursing vs Davita Management of Nursing

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

  21. Late patients

    NDXUFan replied to kdunurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The labs look horrible, because not enough dialysis is being given, setting patients up to fail. How do you expect someone to function with only 12 hours per week of dialysis, is not enough. The...

  22. Late patients

    NDXUFan replied to kdunurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    At IU, patients are treated as adults, not as infants or babies. You might want to try to treat them as people, instead of cattle. Over 90 percent of dialysis personnel stated that they could not...
