Yup, I have been following it. Here's an update, FDA Places GranuFlo, NaturaLyte Under Serious Recall Category

So what? The US is NOT THE ONLY destination.

Exceptional tips for outstanding work ethics. Thanks!

Good luck on your upcoming exam. Not that I'm scaring you, but I heard the exam just gets harder and harder. All the best!

Are the CNN and CDN certifications recognized in other countries? Like if I was certified then would like to work for a couple of years in the Caribbean or Europe?

Where I am currently working, we batch refill the syringes used for heparin infusion. Question is, if not everything was consumed, for how long should the heparin-NaCl solution be kept before discarding it?

Before certain branches of Nephrogroup would accept trainees on cash bond only. Nephro Center Manila and Nephro Center Caloocan to name a few. But now they made the training system centralized, so it's not gonna be like that anymore. Most of the dial...

Free continuing education course specific for renal professionals from CDC. CDC - Continuing Education Course - Dialysis Safety

Oh well, better grab the first opportunity for training. The situation at present is different from when I was also scouting for training and volunteer experience years ago. I'm so thankful I was given a shot by Nephrogroup. Without them I might sti...

RENAP requires only 1 month of dialysis training at the least. The training institution (NKTI, FMC, Nephro, etc) requirements varies. Some would require 6 mos. hospital experience first, some would not. But the trend goes into most (and soon maybe al...

Supercath is widely used in Europe nowadays. Most of our first time patients on vacation from europe (I work in Central America) give me the "look" of hesitation when they see that the needles prepared on our kit are the conventional dialysis needles...

I guess the info found on their FB page is not updated. The one their website is a more recent one.

Is there anyone here using Supercaths in their units? Supercath

Libya is wide open for nurse of all areas and specialties.

Very well said. Even I wouldn't dare accept the offer considering having zero experience. It's like being asked to coach a pro basketball team without having even spent time in the pro leagues even as a former player or coaching staff.

The US in NOT THE ONLY destination for Philippine nurses.

May I revive this old thread. I'm making a little search as I've come across a this "body weight percentage" as I was reviewing our protocols. Same goes here. We follow a maximum UF rate of 1L per hour, and when sequential UF is necessary it would be...

@Jllandero Yeah I saw from RENAP's website that indeed the number of passers wasn't that much. During my time, we were around 90 passers (2009). (I was even thinking maybe they haven't fully updated the list yet, but as what you've said, indeed only ...

RENAP wasn't that strict years ago, but now that more and more nurses turn into dialysis centers for training and possible employment, they suddenly changed the rules. On a more positive note, the RENAP Accreditation (CRN) is a very important piece o...

How do you anticoagulate your dialysis treatments? Some of our patients use low molecular weight heparin, but most are on fractioned heparin. That is, heparin diluted in saline to come up with a solution that gives us 1000 units of heparin per 1 cc o...

Sorry I didn't make my question clear. What I meant was the heparin solution left on the saline bottle after dilution. Because we dilute the heparin on 500cc saline. (mixture is 1000 units/mL). After aspirating enough 10cc syringes, there's still aro...

We also do a friday and saturday bingo bonanza in our unit.And they really go nuts over the prizes no matter what it is. When I was working in the Philippines, we also adapted a game based on a noontime television show called "Pinoy Henyo," (Philip...
