check out University of Ohio on this site. Very cost effective, ccne accredited

I just made application to OU, so I wanted to get in on this thread. I have an ADN from 1992, a stat, nutrition, chem, and I believe the rest of my prerequisites, pending review. I've read a lot of comments and been unable to decide if it's a good pr...

She is right, dialysis is a specialty-a highly specialized specialty in my estimation. It is a field more properly reserved for someone with critical care experience, in fact it used to be a requirement for employment. She is likely already aware tha...

Don't be so hard on yourself, my suspicion is that you are Human, and that's as good as it gets. You can always set the UF goal for the extra fluid. I have learned to always keep an eye on the saline bag whenever working at the machine, ie. put on, t...

There are medications that may be of use to you. Talk to your PCP, in fact you might want to show him your post, that is unless you already sued him.

sorry, not a traveller.

Despite all the negative stuff I read here I decided to give Fresenius a try and love it! I've met many excellent nurses working here that love it too, so I learned you can't rely on what you hear. Wish I was in a position to travel now, but will hav...

I too found it difficult getting up at 4am, I am rarely asleep before 11, but am sometimes overcome by 7pm. My days off are largely spent in bed recooperating from work. As I adjust to a new job, I am able to sleep less, since so much of the work is ...

I know this sounds off the wall, but a probiotic called : Jarro-Dophilus EPS, has been extremely helpful for both upper and lower GI problems for a lot of people (read the reviews on Amazon.com). It worked wonders for my own wife.

Good Sam is a good hospital and should pay well, the experience you get at Hopkins is priceless, and having their name on your resume will be extremely valuable for the rest of your career-worldwide! My son went to work at JHH right out of school, di...

When looking for books,Dialysis or any other, be sure to check ebay, there are some major book sellers there, and I have been able to pickup some good deals on current edition like new books

We live just North of Baltimore and my son is looking for a tutor to help him with his TEAS exam, which he will be taking the 1st week of February 2011. If anyone can help please email me at [email protected]

I just took a position with a Fresenius clinic after spending a year at a Hospital based clinic. I was VERY fearful after all the bad things I had heard, but I LOVE it, the training is excellent and the policies and procedures are outstanding. They r...

In Md only a felony charge can keep you from getting a license, I wouldn't think twice about this stuff. If you are concerned that it will keep you from getting a job-don't be. Background checks are the last step in the hiring process. By then you wi...

In today's market, just be glad you have a job, chances of improving your situation are maybe1:1000. Chances of being sorry you said something 99:100. But don't stop at not saying anything, find the inner strength to be truly pleased with the opportu...

Keep in touch, I have to wait until I'm eligible for reimbursement from Fresenius (3-6 months) but I'm looking forward to getting started too. I know there's a way to exchange email without giving your address out to the world, but not sure how. If a...

saw this on another page and it looks real good to me at $155/credit out of state! Ohio University RN-to-BSN Academic Outreach Initiative

Most critical is to compress the skin for patient comfort- can't emphasize this enough-it's scary at first, I was afraid it would make it harder to hit the vein- but it doesn't, once you are inside, if you can't get a flash just keep trying, there is...

go to AMAZON and get the "daugirdas" Handbook of Dialysis- make sure its the 4th Edition, I was able to pick up a good used one for a song, you won't be dissapointed

It took me six months to even begin to understand the complexities and subtleties involved in nephrology, truly every system in the body is affected. To add to the complexities, we still don't know the answers to some very basic questions concerning ...

Go get it!! But wait until very late in the process-after they are sold on you, and you on them, to advise them of your probationary status, after all it doesn't impact your ability to perform the job, and you shouldn't be divulging your probationary...

I earned my license in 1993, surrendered my license in 2001, applied and received a probationary license in 2009. I found a wonderful job in dialysis, working with a few friends I knew from the rehab group. Life was very good, no problems with the BO...

Please google workplace mobbing, and study defending yourself

the previous response was good advise, if you need to leave without notice do so, try to get some references from co-workers you can use for future job searches. From what I know the only thing an employer can say is your dates of employment and whet...
