Registered Nurse DSD – Cherrydale Rehabilitation Center, 3710 Langston Blvd., Arlington, VA 22207

Job Schedule:

3 days a week, 12+ hour shifts, occasional Saturday, no on call.

DaVita Kidney Care brings industry‑leading clinical quality to patients on‑site at skilled nursing facilities through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line.

In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. DSD RNs will troubleshoot, and make sound decisions for our patients related to their dialysis treatment and will occasionally partner alongside the SNF staff to coordinate care.

As a DSD Services RN, you will conduct impactful and meaningful education to patients and their families in the SNF setting.

The RN’s primary responsibility is to independently demonstrate best practice techniques and deliver optimal dialysis care. The role includes supervising Dialysis Technician(s) who are tasked with delivering tandem care to meet the capacity and efficiency goals of the program.

DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line. Meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients and our SNF partners.

Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly. You apply your core nursing skills to assess, diagnose and implement complete care plans as you look at the whole patient. There’s a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients’ lives.
