  1. Will dialysis limit my future?

    nutella replied to meaganwitherell's topic in General Nursing

    There is no guarantee that you would get a job in acutes. It depends on how you are doing with dialysis in general and how the job market is. There are much less jobs in acutes. Some programs offer...

    nutella replied to CTIF-RN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Not what I expected

    nutella replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    At least you are honest and admit to being baseline "lazy" lol. Chronic dialysis is not a job for people who like it easy going. I am just letting you know that as a nurse and potentially charge after...

  9. Will dialysis limit my future?

    nutella replied to meaganwitherell's topic in General Nursing

    nutella replied to Mlewis1106's topic in General Nursing

    nutella replied to ccosta70's topic in General Nursing

  23. Transition from LTC/SNF to Home Health Nursing?

    nutella replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing
