thank you all for the responses, they have been very helpful.

Ok, thanks. I didn't know if it was s frequent or rare occurrence.

Hello all, Seeking advice and information from everyone. I completed my in-person interview for a dialysis company, and a few interesting things were presented to me in the interview: 1. One of the interviewers indicated that sometimes a dialysis facility may close early due to the fact that a patient may not come in for treatment, if for example, they are hospitalized. Therefore I would not be compensated for the lost time, however some nurses are able to make the hours up with overtime. 2. This particular company requires new hires to sign a commitment contract for a specific amount of time, due to the financial investment of training a new hire on the company's part. Has anyone in the dialysis field experienced either one of these things happening to them? I have been an RN for 3 years, but I'm currently employed outside the healthcare field. I have found it very difficult to obtain a FT RN position without experience. This is one of the reasons I was attracted to the position, because of the amount of training being offered. However fluctuating hours and pay, and a commitment contract worries me a little. Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated.
