  2. Good Resource for Learning Adequacy Measurements?

    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 posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Wondering if anyone might be able to give me insight as to what salary I should be asking for a position of HHD/PD RN in the Chicagoland area? I'm currently a CC for 12-chair unit and got shafted on...

  5. 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

  6. HHD/PD RN Chicagoland area

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

    Yeah I make more than that but less than what I was told I should be offered. I don't think I'll be able to get any more money for transferring but was gonna try :) Sent from my iPhone using...

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

    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...

  10. When to Give Epogen and Hectorol?

    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...

  12. When to Give Epogen and Hectorol?

    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...

  13. Davita vs Fresenius

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

    I'm biased lol but DaVita. Just overall from experience and what I've heard from ppl who have left Fresenius to go to DaVita. But it does happen also that ppl leave DaVita for Fresenius. Also I know...

  16. On-Call Duties in Acute HD

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

    This was not the standard in two of the companies I have worked for...one being one of the big two and a smaller physician-owned company. With the one of the big two, days worked we were expected to...

  17. What bag/attire/organization???

    DialysisRN12 replied to Misstia's topic in Home Health

    Yes I agree. HH is not PDN. While comments are appreciated, it is misleading when posters are referring to PDN situations for nurses who are inquiring about HH issues. There are two separate forums....

  18. Fresenius Training

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

    @westieluv The hours OP mentioned are normal clinic shift hours for some dialysis clinics. Not all clinics do 12 hrs or open to close. Some only do 8 hrs. And those are typical 8 hr shift hours, not...

    DialysisRN12 replied to Lucky724's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Usually pay is the biggest. I made $6/hr less when I worked for a MD owned clinic as v one of the big two. And benefits too are better with the bigger company. That's the only difference I've noticed....
