I just graduated in May 2010 and have been working in dialysis for 6 months. I have had so many dialysis patients come into treatment with BPs above 200. Once we start dialysis, the BP would drop. But there are some whose BP doesn't drop and we would give clonidine PO. Sometimes that doesn't help though. Is that seen frequently? How can I help these patients manage their HTN better?

I know how it feels when you are still trying to look for a job. It seems like nobody wants you...it is a stage that we go through. Try doctor's offices or maybe look beyond Florida? I am in NY and I know many doctor's offices still hire LPN's because of a lesser pay. Hope this helps and never lose hope!!

Having more interviews will definitely help with your job search! Look at the job description before you apply because some of them do say that they would hire new grads. Don't be disappointed. The job search right now is quite hard. If you stay at it, you should find a job sooner or later. Where are you looking for jobs? In what area of US?
