    nutella replied to CCK RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Another option - if you want to get out of there but no option of apheresis or such - might be to ask for a transfer to a different clinic. You are probably right that the techs will continue to see...

  10. Apheresis exp. required for Inpatient Dialysis RN?

    nutella replied to CCK RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
