1. Nurse Recruiter Threatened Me after I Asked a Question: Need Advice

   YoYosama replied to CGB's topic in Travel

   Lord have mercy! I have been doing travel nursing for almost 2 years. If a recruitor is EVER rude to me, it is an immediate block. There is no way for her to sit at home while I'm at work busting my butts just for her agency to make money off of my l...

2. CM with no dialysis experience?

   YoYosama replied to Duncan6's topic in Urology

   We hired a CNA as a CM/FA. Complete fail. Then we hired a car salesman, completely clueless. Then we hired a social worker with no dialysis experienced, ran the place like a resteraunt, forced to quit. Then we hired an experienced dialysis RN. Things...

   YoYosama replied to Guest1212520's topic in Urology

   Hi, travel dialysis nurse here. 1. Trainning is easy, there's a book that Davita gives you and you study from that. High school level content. I think they give you 3 tries for the test (not sure), quality of trainning is based on how organized...

6. Need to vent!

   YoYosama posted a topic in General Specialties

   OK! Here to vent some frustrations! Hahah I do acute dialysis. I cover my own hospital and sometimes pick up shifts at different hospitals (same employer). In general, I picked up a shift and I specifically picked a certain hospital with this o...

7. Getting back into the OR

   YoYosama replied to NurseKell's topic in Operating Room

   You dont use a single thing from nursing school in the OR. I feel like anyone can do this job just need basic medical knowledge and a regard for safety. It's extremely overwhelming at first because it's not like what you learned in nursing school. Yo...

    YoYosama replied to Reaz's topic in Operating Room

    YoYosama replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi there, most of the nursing students in my class have 1-2 bachelor degrees. General science degrees are hard to do anything with. I myself have a bachelor in microbiology. As far as nursing, having a BS in natural sciences will have no impact on yo...
