   DialysisRN12 replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

   Yes I know. I started in acutes. Then moved in center to be a Clin Coord/CNM so I understand your dilemma. At the other company, we can sign ourselves up for just about any learning course. But if...

4. HHD/PD RN Chicagoland area

   DialysisRN12 replied to DialysisRN12's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

   But 35 for a CC is not high if that's what you were referring to. And technically I should be a CNM since my FA is unlicensed. Sent from my iPhone using

   Wait you're giving up being a preop/PACU RN to go into dialysis!! I'd give up anything to be able to do that but can't get into any position here like that without experience. Sent from my iPhone...

    DialysisRN12 replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    You said it in your post "htn, years of poorly controlled diabetes." That's my point. I care about my patients and I know that they want to live. But at the same time it's lack of responsibility to...

11. Davita vs Fresenius

    DialysisRN12 replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Nature of the profession. It's stressful. It's a specialty you either love or hate, no in-between. Chronics is stable but routine for the most part. Acutes is more interesting but 20hr shifts burn you...

    DialysisRN12 replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    And c'mon all...very few patients are going to let you stick them on a weekly basis even tho it is SC. Try making that switch in a clinic with patients who've been there for years. Efficacy doesn't...
