Hi kayfrn! Are you a graduate of Delos Santos? I'm not but I sure hope they are still accepting applicants. :) Thanks for the info :) Hi caisaki! Yeah you're right.. If we're really serious about hemodialysis we need to master our skills.. And sadly that also means paying another institution for additional training.. By the way I heard that you can volunteer at FMC if you've had 1 year experience as a bed nurse. No need to pay them :) So I'm currently looking for hospitals accepting applicants or volunteers before pursuing my dream career as HD nurse :)

100 cannulation? Whoa.. I've done only 5 from my previous training. :) Well I think that's fair enough. As they say, "practice makes perfect". I'm very excited now. The patients I've cannulated said I have a very light hand and that they didn't feel any discomfort. And I thought it was a good thing that's why I wanted to pursue my career in hemodialysis.

Thank you for the info sir rogue.. :) If the training would last for four months and do progress to being staff nurses it would really be worth the fee.. and the waiting.. Please do inform us if you have additional info especially regarding the training dates. Actually I had previous HD training but it wasn't worth it because it lasted only for 5 weeks and costs 9k. And there were only 6 machines and 12 of us trainees in the HD unit. So the Head Nurse assigned half of us on an MWF schedule and the other half on TThS. So in the end we didn't get the exposure we wanted. Don't get me wrong, the instructors were great and they thought us a lot. I even got the chance to cannulate patients. It's just that the length of training wasn't really enough. That's why I want to retrain and hopefully get hired.. I think I'll wait for the NSPI's new training program.. It sounds promising. :) Again thank you sir rogue. :)

Hi jenmesh! I'd just like to ask, where did you had your HD training? Thank you.

I called NSPI West Ave. branch to inquire regarding the HD training. The woman I talked to said all branches of NSPI would stop conducting HD trainings from now on.. Can someone verify this? I've been trying to call their main office but no one is answering their phone..
