DaVita is seeking a Registered Nurse who is looking to give life in an outpatient dialysis center.  You can make an exceptional difference in the lives of our patients and their families dealing with end-stage renal failure or chronic kidney disease.

This role will work 3-4 shifts a week Monday-Saturday. Shift hours are between 4:30am and 6pm.

If you haven’t considered Nephrology before, read on as we think that you should. Dialysis Experience is NOT required.

What you can expect:

• Long term patient relationships. Build meaningful relationship with patients and their family in an intimate outpatient setting.
• A team that feels and functions like a family. Staff RNs are a central part of a small interdisciplinary team of clinicians. Work alongside and support technicians, other nurses, dietitians, social workers, physicians and the center manager.  
• Fun is one of our core values.  Happier nurses = healthier patients.
• Specialized, complex care. RNs deliver care to patients who are often dealing with multiple co-morbidities which require unique treatment plans and the ability to leverage a broad range of nursing skills and knowledge.  
• Fast paced. Our RNs oversee a group of patients (census dependent on state laws) with the support of PCTs to conduct patient observations, measuring stats and machine set up.  You will work with your head, heart and hands each day.
• A clinical leader: DaVita has the highest percentage of facilities meeting or exceeding CMS’s standards in the government’s two key performance programs. We expect our nurses to commit to improving patient health through clinical goal setting and quality improvement initiatives.

Requirements:

• Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice;
