idialyze BSN, RN

And who do you expect to do this for you after become a nurse? Many areas of practice are total care.

Yoga pants, a tank top, t-shirt, or sweat shirt depending on the temperature.Gotta stay decent to walk the dog!

Unfortunately, the Big Guns in dialysis have no such hour limits, I worked a 22 hour shift once. Now it's ONLY chronic for this Old Bat!

Interesting about the peppermint oil and urination, I've never heard that. Not much call for that in my Dialysis Unit!

Our policy states to get the flu shot, or wear a mask, or you will not be put on the schedule until you comply. You have a choice!

If you think that is bullying, you will need a Much thicker skin to make it through nursing school!

Yummy!

Prayers sent for a quick recovery, Esme! Don't scare the nurses too much!

Dude, I didn't realize you were a dialysis specialist!

I received the email from my old travel agency, the largest travel dialysis company, not Facebook!

The patient from Liberia was on dialysis.

Bleach internally,blood does not come in contact with internal machine parts. A higher level of disinfectant is available if needed if the machine had positive cultures. If I had to use a machine on an Evola patient, I would trash it before ever u...

Yup! Got an email from my old travel agency needing 6 Acute Dialysis RNs ASAP! I deleted that so fast, my keyboard was smoking!

As I posted yesterday on another thread, I am a Dialysis RN, and I could not, in good faith, refuse to care for an Ebola patient, I would demand a full HazMat get up, and invite some of the CEO's and others who claim it is safe, to join me in the roo...

My sister works for a state agency, and would never leave due to excellent health insurance, etc. She loves having all the state and federal holidays off! She's in HR, not a nurse.

Since I am a Dialysis Nurse, I have thought about this a lot. I know I could not refuse to dialyze this man, but I Would request a HasMat suit and invite the "Talking Heads" to join me in the room. Since administrators think they are doing enough to...

I personally have always imagined them to be sitting on the commode with their pants around their ankles, i have even giggled about it, and that makes them madder!

I've gotten up looking for machines that are alarming,don't talk in my sleep. My husband, on the other hand, will wake me up speaking in Hebrew, I ask him to repeat in English but he never does! LOL!

Give it a little time. As discussed above, if you ditch this now, you could be liable for some megadollars to pay back to the agency! I was always a little nervous beginning a new assignment when I traveled, but look at it this way, you only have to ...

Renal status?

I had just bought my first new house, I needed a ceiling fan hung. A co-worker's husband was an electrician, she offered his services to hang the fan. Like a loon. I accepted her offer. He fell though the ceiling landing on my brand new couch and cof...

Great news! Congrats!

Thanks! I think I've earned it.

Guess I was meant to be a nurse since I finished that day, finished school, passed boards on first attempt, and have been an RN for 32 years!

My first Kodak moment was my very first day of clinicals and my very first patient. I took her temperature. She was dead. It all went downhill after that, LOL!
