Thanks for the info, loveyourkidneys. I've been interested in dialysis for a couple years. I've wondered about the weekly hours. I'm fine with long hours- personally I prefer long hours and less days a week.

Question for those working 14-15 hour days- on average how many hours a week are you working?

Honestly, I thought you were joking when I first read your post. I think it's very inappropriate. I am sure you have a lot of time out of class when you study that you can knit. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Another reason , is in addition to all the time it takes to complete an admission I still have my regular patients to tend to. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

I'm interested in working in a smaller office/ facility. I'd like to be part of a smaller team that works cohesively together. I think I'm more suited to that than large impersonal facilities. The facility that I currently work In is large and there's no team work. I am looking to get into a specialty instead of a LTAC or med Serg. I have many days where I am now that I don't feel like I actually helped someone . Handing out pills isn't enough sometimes. I feel that nephrology is a field that would be a good for me.

Thank you for responding! Does the training take place in the facility or at another location? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Can anyone tell me what the typical training schedule is? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Hello, I have an interview for a dialysis position on thurs. Does anyone have any tips for me? I've been wanting to get into dialysis nursing for about 6 months. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Pays well... Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

I am working in a LTAC faculty currently. I work doubles every weekend. 16-20 hour days. If my shift goes over 16 hours they do not seem worried. If someone falls or I get an admission and have to stay late, they do not care. I am actually looking to get into dialysis now. I have an interview next week for a dialysis position. I don't think long term/ Long term acute care is my "home". I am ok with long hours( within reason). Can anyone tell me what dialysis pays? I've heard the field pays week.

If you're staying in Korea, I would take a semester off and take a class to learn the language. Then go back to the nursing program.

What are some reputable companies to work HH?

For now??

Nursing school doesn't allow acrylic nails, either. ( at least mine didn't). Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Medvance changed their name bc they were bought by another company. (Fortis) Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Take your time and relax. Don't let yourself get flustered. Each med pass will get easier. You'll find your rhythm and it will go smoother. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Meant to say....Third thread I've read today. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

This is the third thread that someone has answered a question with " homework?" First, isn't this the place to ask questions about nursing? Second, who cares if it is homework? The op is still looking for the knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

That's not uncommon in my experience at LTCs and ALFs. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

What diagnosis has caused you / your unit the most trouble? It seems at my facility the BakerAct unit has caused the most problems in terms of injuries. What about drama or arguing with nurses? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com

Thank you mrchicagorn and bebbercorn for your replies. Fiba , I am not sure what you meant by your comment. I am asking because I've heard several stories about injuries at my facility. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com
