Pros
Lots of PTO offered, decent benefits, so much to learn, excellent hands on patient care experience
Cons
Underpaid for work expected Frequent shift changes due to constant understaffing (pay your techs more for what they do and maybe you won’t always be so short staffed) Expect patients like you’d see in an urgent care or ER- it may be a clinic, but dialysis is considered life saving medicine, you will have patients who have the right to dialysis even if they do everything in their power to stop themselves from getting healthy- including treating their healthcare staff pretty badly. Patients have verbally and physically abused techs at times and it can still be very hard to get protective measures put in place for staff. That said, some of the patients are also the greatest people you will ever meet and you get to have a real relationship with them because you see the same patients every other day.
