    Dialysis Training Program in the New York City Area

    NurseRies replied to Royalty01's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Westieluv- the machine skills come with time and I've never seen someone not get it. It's frustrating because it may take a few weeks! The hardest part is troubleshooting problems without the...

    Does your agency provide free insurance?

    NurseRies replied to dar115's topic in Travel

    Ugh I wish! Both agencies I've worked for cost me about $500 per month out of my check for health insurance. That's for myself and my husband. This latest company has terrible insurance too, I am...

    NurseRies replied to Royalty01's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Westieluv- how are you liking dialysis? I remember when you were trying to decide between this and ER I think. Do you find it interesting? I hope the acute hours are not too

    What is it like?

    NurseRies replied to ZoeGuzman's topic in Travel

    Find a partner who either can work from home or is also a healthcare traveler. Also someone who shares the same dreams and desire to travel! If you've already got someone, well I don't know if I would...

    Dialysis Training Program in the New York City Area

    NurseRies replied to Royalty01's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I truly do apologize for making it seem disrespectful. I was not trying to be that way. I compared this to bartending school maybe unfairly speaking, you're right. I was in the restaurant business for...

    Dialysis Training Program in the New York City Area

    NurseRies replied to Royalty01's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    That sounds like the equivalence of bartenders school, waste of money. No restaurant or bar hires from a Bartending school, just like I might imagine this to be no indication of experience for a...

    How Many Licenses do you Have?

    NurseRies replied to abcnurse123's topic in Travel

    I have the compact licensure through SC. I then got CA, FL, WA, MA, and OH. All states I wanted to go to. If you get the licenses ahead of time, seems like a lot of agencies won't reimburse you,...

    First Travel Offer

    NurseRies replied to adpnurse's topic in Travel

    Yeah I wish I had known that on my first assignment! I was working tons of overtime and was making good money, but my agency was probably making a killing! I have recently found out that overtime...

    First Travel Offer

    NurseRies replied to adpnurse's topic in Travel

    In my opinion, the offer seems low, but if you take the stipend, that's a whole different story! Housing in South Carolina is not that expensive, so you could bring home a lot if you find your own...

    Recommendations for FL travel companies? horror stories??

    NurseRies replied to maverick87's topic in Travel

    $75k a year while traveling the country in my opinion is doing pretty good. Better then the $45-50k a year you'll make in most smaller states. What exactly do you want me to do? Not work unless they...

    Recommendations for FL travel companies? horror stories??

    NurseRies replied to maverick87's topic in Travel

    I am sorry to inform you that you are going to be disappointed. The $100,000 would be doing REALLY well and that would include your housing in that figure. But that number is not very realistic. It...

    Do dialysis patients have an altered biological clock?

    NurseRies replied to Chisca's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Haha that's kind of hilarious. I think what some patients don't understand is that if they run four hours, the online clearance test occurs about 5 times probably, every time the online clearance test...

    I Hate Being Bipolar. It's AWESOME!

    NurseRies replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Great read! My husband is bipolar 2 and my Dad is bipolar 1. My dads illness seems to have crippled him a bit more, but I think most of it is due to the non acceptance among his family. He was put on...

    Overtime Pay, who really benefits?

    NurseRies replied to NurseRies's topic in Travel

    I work in dialysis and I like it very much. I read some bad reviews from travelers about the hospital prior to going, but so far, most nurses there seem very happy and the care is good. I get report...

    NurseRies replied to Twink's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Things I wish every floor nurse knew about dialysis patients: 1. Don't ever give these patients orange juice for their blood sugar- NEVER!! Potassium ! Also no oranges, bananas, and prob should avoid...
