Just a positive note for dialysis techs and nurses. I'm 73+ years old male and have been on dialysis for less than a year and I am one that considers dialysis to be a gift from God to keep me alive, and the angels who He sent to help care for me are the techs and nurses at my center. I strive at each session to let both know that I appreciate them caring for me that day and at the end of the week as we rotate techs, I thank my tech for taking care of me that week.

Having a friendly caring happy Nurse /Tech makes a big difference for us patients.

I became a phlebotomist 8 years ago. And never got the chance to put my skills to work due to lack of experience. I’m currently working for a mortgage company and want to get back to into the medical field 😊 I worked for a retirement center 8 years ago and loved every bit of it. Long story short, I have a phone interview with DaVita next week. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m nervous excited

I just finished my first week of training! Really enjoying my classes and just spent my first few days in the clinic ❤️

I'm a RN in need of a change. This video was most helpful. I have always found Dialysis interesting. I always admired the Dialysis nurses that serviced my patients in the ICU. It may be time to explore my options for Dialysis Nurse opportunities.

I come from a medical field background. I find it very rewarding. I recently applied to Davita and am pending a second interview. My mom was a long term dialysis patient and to give back to the dialysis community would be an honor. I'm excited. Thanks for another great video

Dialysis is a field that you MUST have an interest in.

Thanks so much for the information. I am an.RN and I have been interested in getting into dialysis.

I'm so glad I found your page. brand new grad and just got the offer yesterday! I'm really excited, i worked as a dialysis pct in school.

This video is extremely helpful. I'm a new grad working in the ICU currently...however I don't see myself there long-term. I miss communicating closely with patients and it's very hard to get that rewarding feeling when the majority of the patient population is vented and sedated. I hope to transition to an outpatient dialysis clinic soon after graduating from my nurse residency!

Hi Stephanie, I love your videos & if I wasn’t in research, I would definitely consider a career working in dialysis center. Thank you for keeping us informed.

Hello thank you for the tips..I'm a dialysis nurse..I just find your channel recently..and I love you content so helpful..thank you..😊

Great watching listings sound great so true when you love what you do it's a blessing

God bless Ma’am! I’m considering hospice or dialysis social work. Your voice is so comforting and the video was very informative! Thank you! 🙏✝️❤️

I'm currently enrolled to get my certification in Hemodialysis nursing. After working in the Operating room for 20 years, I have always been thinking of switching specialty for a long time and I finally took the first step. Thank you for this video, it just gave me a stronger desire to switch to hemodialysis even more.

Thanks for the information. I will be starting as a PCT in a couple of weeks.

I owe you $100 bucks 😂 interview with Davita today 🙏🏾😊

Thank you. I just got a pct position so I've been watching videos trying to get prepared

Well done. I especially enjoyed your down-to-earth, pleasant delivery. Uncle Terry. P.S. Your Uncle Tonny and I were stationed in Alaska. 👍

I just got offered a interview at Davita and I’m really excited! This video helped me a lot thank you ♥️🤞🏽

Omg u r so kind Mr. Eric thanks

I just came across your video! Thank you so much for your information. I am a new graduate and recently gained my LMSW I've been eager to pursue a career in dialysis ever since my sister underwent treatment.

I m a freshly grad LVN student and was looking for something to specialize in and for a company that is huge well-known in America at least with good benefits. Thank you for confirming this. Also, the fact that the populations it affects are my people is a greater plus too cuz I feel more of a sense of purpose. Now I know what more to say for my interview, again thank you

I am currently looking into a career change. Your input was very helpful. Thank you.

I’m currently taking phlebotomy. After I get done with that I will start my dialysis tech class in Durham. My granddaddy was gifted 4 extra years of life because of dialysis. I can’t wait to get certified and help bless other people like he was blessed! I have been a caretaker of elderly family members for 8 years now. I’m the baby of my family, so I’m excited to get out there and start my career finally.

Hi Stephanie, I just passed my patient Care Technician Exam with The National Healthcare Association. I’m applied for jobs in the hospitals and completed my application with DaVita to become a hemo dialysis pct. I’m hoping to get hired with my lack of experience. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 lol. This videos was very helpful . Keep posting plz!!

Thank you so much

Hey dear. Thanks for educating me. Your information shared is good. Am looking for a job and I will love to work in Dialysis center..

Thank you for the video pct student here looking into to working in hemodialisys ❤

Hello ma'am thank you for sharing. I am interested to work in dialysis

Would you suggest applying to multiple positions for one organization if I’m open to working different outpatient clinics, or will it be frowned upon?

Hey thanks been a respiratory therapist for 39 yrs, sat home for 4 months about to go nuts lol

Im a tech for 14 months at Northwest Kidney Center in seatac Washington i love the patients but can be stressful

Hello thanks for the video I have my 2nd interview with Davita Next week

I'm fresh into the medical field and leaning towards working at a Dialysis clinic as a PCT and was wondering was I making the right choice as far as pay advancement and interacting with people.

Does dialysis require prolonged standing? I would very much like to know if I stand straight 12 hours or can I sit down when they are on the machine? Does it involve lifting?

does the tech poke each time? or has the patient have ports already ?

Am interested pls help me as to how I go about it to get to the training. Am in Maryland

I start next month !

Hi Stephanie, I’ve a interview with 4 people on Monday,can you please guide me with your tips. Thank you.

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your post. I have been offered two different positions one with Davita and one with Fresnius and I am undecided mainly because of pay and schedule. One position is as a home hemodialysis nurse and the other is in clinic dialysis nurse the in clinic schedule is very long and it seems that it can be very overwhelming while the home hemodialysis position schedule is Monday to Friday however, the pay is also very different the salary of the in clinic position pays double the home hemodialysis position. So my question is what is the difference between the two that makes the pay so different and for someone who is looking to getting into the clinical management aspect of the job would it be better to start as a home hemodialysis nurse? I appreciate your response and advice. Thank you

I have questions does it require lifting patients that are on wheel or can't walk ?

So glad I found you! I have been thinking of becoming a dialysis tech part time. I'm on dialysis 3 days my numbers are good 3hrs.15mins waiting for a kidney. Can I get hired? What is your advice

I'm having issues with time management especially during turnover to next shift. Any advice,please

Hey Stephanie. I was on dialysis for 4.5 years and I just got my kidney transplant a month ago. I’m really interested in working at a DaVita. I don’t really want to be a tech... but maybe like a social worker or some kind of administrative person or something. How do I get my foot in the door? Also, is it true that I have to have a MSW to work as a social worker at a dialysis clinic?

Can you please explain to me what the difference in roles between a LVN vs RN in a dialysis setting (based in Texas)? I've looked for this info but have yet to find it... the TX BON is very scarce/vague in its description.

Thanks SO much for the video. I am graduating nursing school in May and have been thinking a lot about dialysis lately. Do you think that being a RN in a dialysis clinic will make it hard to get a job at a hospital later in my career?

Hello! I hopefully you are doing well! I have a high desire in becoming a PCT but I am a little bit afraid because of my short English due I am a Hispanic person. Do you think if it is possible DAVITA accept people like me? Thank you!

Can one do 12hr days in a dialysis center?

Im a new RN here in US basically no dialysis experience or any nursing job experience here. but i have 7yrs ER experience overseas. Im very interested in this field. Hope and pray that i will also pass the interview and get hired too♥️

good morning ma, I will like to come and work in any center over there to gain more because am a dialysis technician working with irrua specialist teaching hospital irrua Edo state Nigeria. I want learn more about the job.

Hi! I'm interested in changing careers into Dialysis. I'm older though, I'm curious if you feel this job is harder to break into at an older age? Is it a job that you can retire from? Thank you

I just applied for Dialysis Tech online at DaVitas ...I have no experience but I'm willing to learn. I love helping people and I think it would be a very rewarding career knowing that you are helping to save lives. Please give me advise on how to get the job?

Hi, Stephanie just watched your video, I have worked as an acute care Dialysis RN for 7 months I just relocated to Houston Texas and looking for a job in Dialysis, I took a job here as a bedside RN but I really want to work in Dialysis. Do you have any advice you can give me on how to get back into dailysis?

Hello, I loved your video! I have an interview tomorrow with DaVita and I am super nervous. I want the job so bad. Any tips on getting through the interview? I have been trying to get in for a couple years and finally I get an interview!!

Hello I'm I would love to no more I'm very interested in this learning more about everything.

I am trying to get my foot in the door, I have applied @ Davita & Fresenius for 2 years, I am a CNA ( 14 years experience) plus just graduate from college with my BS in HCA, but I always get denied.

I got job offer from Davita and think about taking it. Do u have any opinions? I am an experienced RN with close to 4 year experience in acute care.

Can you wear short acrylics? If not can you have your natural nails at least polished? Hopefully this isn't a dumb question lol thanks!

Hi Stephanie, I am interested in working as a dialysis nurse/tech. I'm a LVN and a new RN graduate (2019).

Nice

Hello o have an interview with DaVita tomorrow what are some good things to say during my interview ?

I have a job interview and I said lord I don’t know if I can do it

Hi. Im a new RN here in the United States and i am interested to become a dialysis nurse but i dunno how to get a certificate . Where and how to get myself into the training. Thank you for the response

Ehhh. I've been working in the Dialysis field for many years starting out as a Tech, LPN, and now RN and I just can't deal with it anymore. Mostly due to the rude and feeling of entitlement from most of the patients. They may not have the best life, I understand that, however, it's not the staff fault they are in this predicament. Nurses and healthcare professionals are people too. And a lot of chronic hemodialysis patients don't seem to understand that. Some do most don't. That's my opinion on this field. On another note, I start my new job in a different and less stressful specialty and I'm very happy 😊😊😊

It's very interesting career, i get a certificate as CCHT, but the big surprise no way to catch any job all facilities need experience in NYC, I'm so disappointed 8 months now and nothing 😂😂

I just got hired by Davita, this is my first job out of grad school, the pay is amazing but I am just scared 😱. I was told my caseload is 125 or more; I feel like running😢.

I have no experience in dialysis. I worked long term and currently doing case management. Since I was in nursing school, i wanted to work in dialysis. Could you guide me on where to start? What do I need to do? Which will be the best company to start with?

What is heparin bolus
