I have an opportunity to train in a hemo dialysis faciltiy for 3 months while taking my pre req courses for RN
up to this point i have had no idea what part of Nursing i would be most effective in
but now that i have doen quire a bit of research on Dialysis tech and also Dialysis RN
i have developed a strong interest in dialysis .
i would like input from experienced Nurses as well as all levels of student Nurses.
I do Have few questions i would like addressed .
At what point in nurseing school can i look toward dialysis as an RN.
Will the experience i gain as a dialysis tech help in actually getting into
a Nurse Program in the college i am taking pre req classes at .
Will being a dialysis tech distract from my nurse studies .
I would greatly appreciate all input and experiences From Nurses as well
as Student Nurses One last question what are the chances of getting a job
in Dialysis as an RN once i do become an RN.
Thank you all for reading this and answering with what you have experienced
or what you believe about what i am asking.

My nursing school did not have rotations at a dialysis center. Sure, we briefly touched about dialysis during Med-Surg class, but it was not full and in-depth.
Any experience in the health care field looks good on your resume for nursing school.
Being a dialysis tech will only distract you if you are not good at organization and juggling time to study for school and work-time.
