Part Time – Monday/Wednesday/Friday, No On Call, Training Provided.
DaVita Kidney Care is bringing industry‑leading clinical quality to patients on‑site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) 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 avoidable costs to the healthcare system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita offers, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line.
Ideal teammates have experience in dialysis, are energized by a start‑up environment and improving patients’ lives, and have a track record of getting things done. They must be comfortable working autonomously, collaborating with cross‑functional resources, and delivering high‑quality care.
What You Can ExpectIn this role you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. DSD RNs troubleshoot and make sound decisions related to dialysis treatment and occasionally partner with SNF staff to coordinate care. Your impact on patients and their families will be felt every day.
Patient EducationRNs by training are educators. As a DSD Services RN you will have the opportunity to conduct impactful and meaningful education for patients and their families in the SNF setting.
Direct Patient CareThe RN’s primary responsibility is to independently demonstrate best practice techniques and deliver optimal dialysis care. The role includes supervising Dialysis Technicians who provide tandem care to meet capacity and efficiency goals.
ComplexityDSD Dialysis care is complex but fulfilling. Meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes is the goal, and multitasking is expected to meet the needs of the service, patients, and SNF partners.
Autonomy and Critical ThinkingProvide comprehensive patient care independently. You will need to be on your toes at all times, applying core nursing skills to assess, diagnose, and implement complete care plans. The joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients’ lives.
