Switching from Psych to Dialysis

Published

Hello, after 4.5 years in psychiatric inpatient nursing, I am making a change to dialysis with Fresenius clinic. I would love to hear about this type of nursing and would love to hear about experience with Fresenius!

Grateful!!!!

goodluck dear, i know you can do it but you might be surprised with the difference between the two specialties. i have a lot of new coworkers that moved from med surg and LTC to dialysis and they're always complaining how hard the job because they always feel running around like chicken with their heads cut off. this is in a chronic dialysis facility

Specializes in Dialysis.

In 20 years, I've done home health, hospice, LTC, med surg, ICU, and ER. I've been with dialysis (Fresenius as well) for about 8 months or so. I love it, find it so much calmer than LTC or hospital, but that's just me. Fresenius is an good company, but like every other employer they have good points and bad points, which I won't go into because what's a good thing for me, may not be for you and vice versa. Good luck, and just hang in there through the learning curve! Once you can PM (I see you're a new member), feel free to PM if you have questions or need to vent
