DaVita Kidney Care is expanding on-site SNF dialysis services through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services (DSD). Approximately 10% of dialysis patients reside in SNFs and are transported to dialysis three times a week. The DSD team will leverage DaVita resources to develop and grow this new service line in collaboration with SNF partners.

Ideal teammates have dialysis experience, thrive in startup environments, and are committed to improving patients’ lives. They should be comfortable working autonomously and collaborating with cross-functional resources across the organization.

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

Primary work schedule 3 days a week, with occasional Saturday work. No on-call required.

Your impact on the lives of patients and their families will be felt daily.

Patient education RNs are educators and will have opportunities to conduct impactful education to patients and their families in the SNF setting.

Direct Patient Care The RN independently demonstrates best practice techniques and delivers optimal dialysis care. The role includes supervising Dialysis Technicians who deliver tandem care to meet capacity and efficiency goals.

Complexity DSD dialysis care is complex and aims to meet or exceed clinical outcomes; multitasking is expected to meet the needs of the service, patients, and SNF partners.

Autonomy and Critical Thinking Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting; apply core nursing skills to assess, diagnose and implement care plans while monitoring the whole patient.
