Ufr of 3oo is our minimum

Ryan RN. If you think anyone can do it take a back seat. If everyone could do it then the turn over rate would be much lower, but it's not. Be honest. It's hard work and takes dedication. Im a tech working on my RN and started with 4 new hires my...

We have the 2008k machines and run AF at 300

Sounds about right!! Except we have a 3 person assignment. My clinic is chaotic right now though like that too. I just hit 6 months and am not comfortable but not getting so nervous anymore!

If your continuously turning the BFR down to 450 then the MD orders will need to be changed. What's the point of using 14g needles if the BFR is continuously being turned down. Possibly NA profiling or adjusting temp to 36 with MD orders obviously. ...

No I assume its less than where I am. The cost of living in mass is higher. In assuming maybe 10-11 however I'm not sure. Mass is 14-16

The interview was pretty basic my CM at the time asked questions asking if I knew what dialysis is, if I was good with computers and technology. She asked why i think i would be a good fit. If you are unsure of exactly what techs do look at the job ...

I know video surveillance is legal,, however here in mass voice recording is not

I Work for Fresenius and they Paid me for my training. I had no prior jobs in the medical field besides phlebotomy license, CNA certificate, and EKG certificate.

I would think it would ultimately be the RNs license at risk

Pretty sure has to be 2 staff even for 1 pt. if they code and the nurse needs to take care of pt while pct helps and calls 911

This happens in my unit more than often than not. It's unsafe and hard work for the nurses (I'm a tech). Today when I go in we have 15 patients and 5 people. 3 nurses 2 techs..... That should allot everything getting done with 3 nurses but usually...

I'm a tech with Fresenius and I was hired for 30 hours a week even though its usually 40. My husband works 40+ as well. My hubby is now being pushed at work to work Saturdays and occasional Sundays. This means I will no longer be able to work Saturd...

I work as a dialysis tech. The thing we look for is recording vitals every half hour, during the half hour checks we review the machine ensuring all "chambers" are at the appropriate level and enough normal saline in the bag ( I'm assuming if your in...

I work in a chronic unit with 3 shifts mwf and 2 on TThS. Your hired for 30 or 40 in my unit. I do 3 10 hr shifts (as a tech) which usually turn into 4 and my days are usually more. 11-12 hours. Nurses are hired for the same.

If their training is anything like Fresenius you will not be able to work full time elsewhere. I trained M-F full days between class room and otj training, maybe DaVita is different.

I started working as a tech in May of this year, I'm still new to the field. I have my CNA license, EKG Certificate, and phlebotomy license and will be applying for RN school shortly. I really do like my job and most of the patients,but I'm tired of ...

Fresenius chain of command in my clinic is Clinical manager , we don't have charge nurses rather team leaders, then techs. We really all work together. Nurses usually have a 3-4 pt assignment on top of their nursing duties (depending on the clinic). ...

I just had one interview not a phone, however I was hired as a PCT not RN. From talking with other RNs who were hired with me they had one interview with the clinic manager and the charge nurse was also present. I heard back a week later. I had an ad...

I do like the company they offer tuition reimbursement and other reasonable benefits. There are several clinics in my area and the educational classes are far and few, I had to travel an hour and a half to get to it. However they reimburse you for ga...

It is not possible. As a tech or nurse you have a 3 patient assignment, with my clinic there vitals are taken every half hour and before and after tx. We dont let patients leave with a BP less than 100. There is no physical way we can change a patie...

Every clinic is different, we have a pt that drops everytime but she carries ness with her and takes them to increase her BP. Other PTA we bolus with n/s, or give them soup which usually always works. Samething with Hypertensive PTs we have a couple ...

I work for Fresenius also. The hiring process is very involved, as it should be. They pay you for 9 weeks of training, classroom and on the floor. Most likely you will train with a Tech first, then after doing that for awhile they would ease you into...

Make sure you know the basics of what dialysis is (obviously!). You will probably be asked how you are with computers/technology. It is a fast paced job, with long hours on your feet (most rn jobs are :)) it is a very repetitious job. What company is...

Congrats. It's a long 9 weeks of training, you won't be comfortable for at least year ( im on month 4) and I still get stomach aches on my way to work.
