I was acquired by Davita from a dialysis unit I worked for prior.
I currently am working as a Peritoneal Dialysis RN In Philadelphia PA. (I did ICHD before that and wanted a change of pace/learning)
I love working in Home Dialysis. As an RN you get to work very independently but also can work with a team.
I love that the doctors really value my input as a nurse when it comes to caring for patients.
If you are ever looking at a job in dialysis I think being a home nurse whether PD or HHD is great. You train the patients to do their dialysis at home. (I mostly work at the center and manage my caseload of patients while training new ones to go home)
You really get to be a family with your team and patients.
I love that the schedule is super flexible too.
They also have a lot of plans where you can grow into other roles or leadership too which I love. I never like to get to too stagnant in what I do.
Happy to share more of my experiences and hope this helps!
I shadowed at a Davita center yesterday for 2 hours. What I saw is just a glimpse of what takes place but I loved the energy shared by staff and patients alike! It truly is a village atmosphere. Wish they compensated their staff better. If I can work 3 16's, I could make the money work. Love the idea of having 4 days off, much better life balance.
Where ru guys working? I pretty much stand up to management if theyre trying to sneak more than 3 12’s in my shift.
In CT.
I knew one that was a hospital or inpatient dialysis RN for them. They worked her hard she had to drive hours to setup machines and would Run icu patients. Every inpatient dialysis RN I know worked on call 24/7/365. Outpatient at a clinic seems very easy compared. All you do is hook up patients and supervise the dialysis techs. All my lazy friends who barely passed nursing school are outpatient dialysis nurses. Super easy, super chill, good if you are burned out.
The nurses I saw working at the center yesterday hustled, and they were only 6 hours into a 12 hour shift that could be pushed into a much longer one. I don't think a lazy person could make it in an outpatient setting. The RN's supervise all of the patients and hook up/unhook, pass meds , verify orders, document everything, do assessments and eval pts that others have. They also communicate with the doctor, all.day.long.
That in itself is a 40 hr job.
Is the patient on the right meds Rx'd by the doctor, has the pt been sicker than usual, does this pt need a social worker or nutrionist to step in? The nurse collaborates with so many resources. Then they document some more, disinfect equipment and get it ready for more patients. An RN then calls the patient's ride to come pick up the patient when they are done with treatment and sometimes the RN has to send someone out to the ED. Nobody staff wise sits down (there aren't any chairs for staff to sit in). This is just what I saw during a 2 hour shadow. Patients were so cheerful and loved the staff. Techs and nurses support their patients in so many ways and that takes so much heart. It isn't for the lazy or faint of heart. Not too many people would choose this field for the money offered, bless those who do!! They truly make a difference in the lives that they serve.
I have a friend who did it. It seemed that she was worked very hard with long hours and often worked extra shifts due to staffing shortages. I think the training was good.
Surprised me that someone said their lazy associates who did not do well in school are able to do this job.
Also, seems like inpatient dialysis would be easier as you just have one patient to cover instead of a group. But have never done that work so don’t really know.
