Training on Dialysis

World Philippines

Published

I want to attend a training program on dialysis treatments.

Where can I train?

Which one offers the best training?

How much is the program fee?

How long is the training?

I've been looking on the website of National Kidney and Transplant Institute but can't find any info about it. If you can refer training centers and their contact numbers, I would highly appreciate them.

Thank you as always.

National Kidney and Transplant Institute is the best institution to train for Dialysis. Currently they have a program called Dailysis Management Course. Its a 6 months extensive training on Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis.The students of this course will get to have an actual hands-on experience in setting up a bloodlines, cannulation, reprocessing and a lot more....

Thank you nurseharbee!

I just want to ask if I can take the Dialysis Management Course without 6 months bedside experience.

Hi, I find your post interesting. I am currently looking for a hospital to undergo Dialysis Training and also was able to browse the NKTI website. However, I did not get much information about their training on Dialysis. I would like to ask if you know how can I apply for such training. And kindly provide me with details of the following:

Training fee:

Duration of the training:

Date of the training:

Requirements:

Contact Information:

Thank you very much in advance.

P.S. I'm currently out of the country and will go back to the Philippines on the 2nd week of April. So I am hoping to get the schedule for either May, June or July since I still have to undergo IVT, BLS, ECG, ACLS training when I come back. Thanks again!

Which offers the best training on dialysis among these training centers?

PHILIPPINE KIDNEY DIALYSIS FOUNDATION

AESCULAP ACADEMY

PHILIPPINE HEART CENTER (CARDIO RENAL NURSE PROGRAM)

NATIONAL KIDNEY INSTITUE

NEPHROLOGY CENTER MANILA

Just a heads-up regarding dialysis trainings:

PKDF, B-Braun, PHC Cardio-renal nurse program, they focus a lot on theory. Not much regarding skills.

I did a lot of retraining (especially on cannulation) regarding my staff that came from those programs.

in your own opinion, where do you think is the best institution for dialysis training? I want to be trained as a dialysis nurse but NKTI needs 1 year work experienced to be considered a candidate. thank you, your answer will be greatly appreciated

There's no "best" institution.

Each program has its flaws. Focus much on theory, and the trade-off will be on skills. In the long run, you have to adjust to a steep learning curve once you get hired by a hospital or acute dialysis facility since you'll be, more or less, on your own. Your co-workers won't be assisting you everyday regarding your judgement and decision making skills once complications occur. Mind you, it's easier said than done.

Focus much on theory, and the trade-off will be on knowledge. This is where I needed to catch up in my first months as a staff nurse. I ended up reading 3 manuals of hemodialysis and regularly going back to MS books and online forums to enhance my knowledge.

For me, it's better to gain the upper hand on SKILLS.

So choose the training program that enhances your skills. Nephrogroup's program intensely focuses on skills. 100 cases of cannulation, 100 cases of termination, 10 cases of subclavian initiation, 10 cases of subclavian termination. Plus, you will feel as if you're a staff nurse since you do most of the things that a staff nurse does, INDEPENDENTLY.

Asia Renal Care's program is also good.
