Wow, thanks so much....very good info! I'm not sure what my scope of employment would be. I don't think I'll be initiating dialysis. There are 9 machines and I believe 2-3 RN's and one LPN per shift. The hours are 8-5 mon to friday. Good questions to ask though. I'm in Nova Scotia and currently working casual on a very busy med-surge unit. The dialysis unit is in the same hospital and is a .5 position, so I could go back to casual (which is basically full time) if I don't like dialysis. :)

I am a new grad interviewing for an LPN position at an outpatient dialysis unit on Thursday. I've found all sorts of great questions to ask the employer, but was wondering if anyone has any interview tips and/or ideas of what type of questions I can expect. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!:) Cara

I'm studying , or trying to, for the Canadian National LPN exam. Same thing I'm pretty sure. Do you have the Canadian PN Exam prep guide? If so there is a web address in the back of the book that will take you to a site where you can purchase a predictor test which is put together by the same company that makes the national exam. You can actually buy 2 predictor tests for sixty some dollars. I found these very helpfull. I scored 82% on the test which gave me 95-100% likelihood I will pass. Here is the web address, www.asitest.ca Good luck!!
