dialysis tech

im going to a school called north metro medical training in smyrna ga, it's only 8 weeks and it starts in jan of next year. i was wondering if there's anyone out there that can write a review on the school, was it good or bad. and also how much does dialysis tech makes an hr in atlanta, and is it hard to find a job in the field..

Hello have you been to the clinics there and apply for a job before going to that school. alot of the clinics will train you. The pay varies, depending on your experience. but it's a good field to be in, if you love patients an a passionate person. I've been in Dialysis for 8 ys.and I stop working for personal problems, but I'm back to normal an that's by the Grace of God,I've a interview Tuesday.Check online also for location of the clinics, it's wise to go there in person. Keep in touch.God love you.Betty

thanks Betty, praise God for your health improvement...I have apply to davita and another one but they never called me back, i have work as a medical assistant and also have a diploma in the field but it's really hard and they all want you to be certify,im just tired of waiting for jobs to call u, i feel like it's alot better if i went to a school and got certify and that way they have no excuses.lol....but im staying hopeful to God..many thanks again, happy holidays...God Bless you as well
good luck with interview, let me know how it went...

Thank you for your blessings I'll be praying for you as well,that God opens a door for you, and I know he'll because we have a Good God he makes no mistakes just don't worry something will come through. Go online and find the location of some clinics there, and follow-up on them, call them and inquire about the job. Just keep the faith and truth in God, I'll look online here as well, so you live in Atlanta Ga.? I'll forward you some web site to apply send me your E-Mail, do you have a Resume?

Go to indeed.com and Monster it's plenty small towns around there hit them all, somebody will hire you.You might have to go out a little but you need the experience. I'll keep surfing online to see what I can come up with. But you pray there and i got you here, Good luck my Sista and Be Blessed din't worry God got you in his time don't give up that's to easy God Bless.

Hi there,

I am starting Dialysis school at the end of the month! I am thrilled, I have been in and out of work for the past 2 years as Project Manager. I am 55 yr old and so ready for a new start! What is the job market in the ATL area once I complete school and clinicals? I have a Associates in Art and am told that will be taken into consideration when I sit for the Boards.

It seems kinda hard with the job marketing over here in athens, ga. However, I am gonna continue to keep searching. Congrats on starting Dialysis training. How long is the program?

My program is 12 weeks and 4weeks in clinicals. Have you found a job in Atlens? When did you take your training?

im sorry it took so long for a reply, i tried a few time to send a reply but it wont post...anyways, im attending this school call metro medical training center located in smyrna ga...and it about 4 weeks in the class and 180 hours clinicals

I haven't had the training yet b/c I'm still doing the research to where i want to attend the dialysis training. However, I have found a school in winder, ga which is 25 minutes away from me and they told me the program is about 12 weeks in class and 4 weeks in the clinical setting. Which. They say the program is about $5,500.

Malik College is 3 grand if you are cash pay. There is also a south in Calhoune GA and it is a mere 1600.00. They are an hour and 15 minute ride one way for me. I know I can't do it unless WIA picks the cost up. I have been in and out of work for over 2 years. Wishing you well.

Hi Mouscat! I'm looking into taking the Dialysis course at Metro Medical and wanted to know what your experience was like and what your job outcome was after taking the course. I am also a career changer (in mid 40's) and have my CNA and CMA. I really want to work in Dialysis and am trying to decide the BEST and LEAST expensive route to get my foot in the door. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
carin

Hey chopton in canton Ga, im posting this comment to save u the headace, metro medical in smyrna ga run by mrs. london is the worst. I pay 1300 for the school dince march I finished, my classmate and I have not been call for clinicals. She claim to have a clinicals contract with davita but its all lies. I have been calling but she wont return any of my calls. Theres other classes before us who have not been call for clinicsls as well. Save ur money and time.i wish someone would hve warned me.

Im in class was rushing, I live in marietta, not sure why, it says new jersey. But pls forgive my misspell words. I can give u more details later about that horrible school.

Thanks so much....I'll look forward to hearing about your experience. I have not enrolled yet as I was concerned about the quality. Thanks!

@Betty in Durham, North Carolina
Hey Betty, I'm alive, thanks for asking, how are you doing?
The school I told you about was a scam, I pay 1300 for dialysis training, all the promises the owner promised, she never came through on it, as of right now, it's about to be a year since I completed the in class session, and have yet to be in clinicals rotation, I call, she never returned any of my calls. I just wished someone would've warned me about that school. I wasted my money, time, and energy, something I can't get back. But I'm in school now, taking prereq towards my nursing. I also just completed a cna training, so I have to go take the state exam next month, hopefully that will help me get a job. I hope all is well with you as well. How's the job? email me whenever you can....yebujalloh@aol.com

@Jesusrocks0528 thank you so much for taking the time to post about Metro Medical Training Center in Smyrna. I was going to call them today about the accelerated medical assistant training. I've been searching since yesterday for reviews on the school. Looking at their Facebook page it looks legit and it appears everyone are getting jobs. I knew there had to be more to it for such a low cost and fast training. They're offering 5-day medical assistant training for $699. I'm a CNA and I'm looking for a job that will pay a little more. I don't have money to waste at all, so thank you so much for sharing your experience.

@sunshine09, my dear please do yourself the favor and stay away from metro medical run by ms. London in Smyrna...I can't even stressed it enough how all they r after is your money. All the people from my class since last year march have not been put in clinicals. I wish there were more people doing reviews on that school. Before going there, I look for reviews but there were none. Medical assistant everywhere is a nine month course, I did medical assistant back in 2007. I know cna pays low for the amount of work but if you want to stay in healthcare try for the lpn or rn program. I just did my cna so that I can find a pt job while attending school ft for nursing. medical assistant is a waste of time and money as well. I try to take short cuts in the healthcare field and now realize that its best to just go to school for nursing.Please stay away from metro medical training in Smyrna run by ms. london

Omg, thank you so much for posting about metro. I called and spoke to someone a few days about the class that started this week and was given all this wonderful info about how over 80% of the people who go through the program get jobs with Davita. Good luck.

@hopeful RN....please my dear fine another school that is fully accredited, metro medical training is a joke, they will promised you all these lies about 80% of the class gets jobs with davita, but wait until you've paid them and can't find clinical site. They will tell you that you have to find a site not them. I have a letter here that they send because I kept calling and telling them to find me a site, in the letter, they stated that I was told that I have to find my own site. Honey trust me, it's not worth it. The school is very bad, you have to do the reading and learning on your own. I wish you can talked to some of the people that went there. I will continue to warned people because my 1300 just went for free. A lot of other people as well. She's a fraud and someday, she will get what's coming to her. There were another person here who had said that metro medical promised them a 5 day medical assistant class, now that doesn't even sound legal or legit, everywhere medical assistant course is 9 months. When something sound too good to be true that because it isn't. Do your research. BE WARNED, STAY AWAY....I completed a medical assistant course and it took me about 10 months not 5 days...
