When is NX stage going to force centers to offer training at a reasonable hour, after our normal work day! So I do not have to take six weeks off of work for dialysis training!  It is ridiculous!

There website needs a little work. Just incase I have o go back on dialysis and choose NxStage, looking for a center is not the easiest thing to do on the website.I get a diferent listing each time I click on distance, center size, and original listing. How about just list them all within a certain range of distance and then list the centers size in the table provided. Idiot web designer!

My only reason for considering NxStage is the travel freedom. Otherwise, it aint't worth it.
