Training on Dialysis

rogue_maverick · May 9, 2012

KDOQI is more followed in the US and countries adapting the US system in terms of renal healthcare delivery, i.e. the Philippines.

In Europe (and current and former colonies of European countries) we follow the guidelines of KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) and ERBP (European Renal Best Practice).

There are only slight differences in certain guidelines, like for example dialyzer REUSE is a NO in Europe, and the maximum UF rate is computed according the body weight, but in general there more similarities.

Here's the website for further reading.

But as a renal nurse trained in and who have worked longer in the Philippines than abroad, I still follow the KDOQI guidelines more than the KDIGO.

I'd like to ask if nephrology center of manila is really absorbing their trainees and if they allow all the nurses applying to have training with them. thanks! :)

Training concerns from metro manila branches of nephrogroup dialysis centers will be handled by one department, nephro synergies.

Please do some back reading on this thread, I have provided the link and info regarding orientation schedule and curriculum in the last 3-4 posts.

As for absorbing the trainees after the programs, that I have no information yet.

You may attend the orientation as posted and you can direct your inquiries to them. Good luck!

mr. rogue_maverick just one more thing, do you have any idea how much is the dialysis training at nephrogroup? thanks

rogue_maverick · May 11, 2012

I have no exact figure, but what I heard, it will be more or less 20k.

I'm not very sure about this, but I think they do contact a nurse applicant for training once they deem they need some manpower. The selection process is also unknown to me.

Just yesterday, I received a text message informing me to come over at Edsa Mandaluyong on a given date for an orientation for the dialysis nurse training. I passed my application last January 2012. As much as I want to attend, I'm already at a different institution.

Good luck to all applicants!

i called nephro group yesterday and they told me that the training is now 6 months for 35,500k. I think the last time I called them was in March saying that the training is good for 3 months for 3k, but now that program has been close and replace by the training for 6 months.

[/url] dodoy oh I see. I'm just still thinking if I'm going to pursue my dream of becoming an HD nurse because the training is too expensive. does hd nurse still in demand here in the Philippines and abroad?

dodoy, BSN, RN · May 12, 2012

In my honest opinion, if you have the spare money to spend for this HD training, then you may do so. However, I can't vouch if there's a possibility of hiring after completing this said training. Much would depend if there are vacancies, on your performance evaluation, the need for more manpower, the list goes on.

However, if the fee they require is too expensive for you, then I think it would be best to think it over. Financial matter is something we cannot just set aside. Good luck.
