I know that dialysis centers are having a crisis on their hands. They are losing techs and nurses at an alarming rate. Both old and new employees are leaving. For the first year of dialysis, we had the same folks working in that center. However for the last 6-8 months, it's been a revolving door. We have one tech who got certified about 2 months ago, he's leaving to go back to school. Unplanned according to him, but he realizes this isn't for him. We lost a nurse who only stayed for 3 months. She went back to hospital work. It's bad out there. This is one of the reasons I'm going for PD dialysis at home.
These are just 2 examples of folks leaving. We've probably lost about 8 in the last 6-8 months.
