Autonomous Dialysis RN: SNF Care & Education

Posting Date: 03/24/2026

205 Marine Dr, Anderson, Indiana, 46016, United States of America

No On-Call

Dialysis Training Provided

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 health care system. DSD Services teammates have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer.

The home location is DaVita SNF Dialysis at Countryside Health located at 205 Marine Dr, Anderson, IN 46016. The SNF Dialysis RN must be willing to support other dens as needed.

DaVita SNF Dialysis dens have 6 chairs. The den is currently operating 6 am-6 pm, but the length of the shift can vary based on the patient census.

Ideal teammates will have experience in dialysis, get energized by a start‑up type environment and improving the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to Get Stuff Done (GSD). Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate 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 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.

Patient education. RNs by training are Educators. As a DSD Services RN, you will be provided the opportunity to conduct impactful and meaningful education to patients and their families in the SNF setting.

Direct Patient Care: The RN’s primary responsibility is to independently demonstrate best practice techniques and deliver optimal dialysis care. The role includes supervising dialysis technicians who are tasked with delivering tandem care to meet the capacity and efficiency goals of the program.

Complexity. 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.

Autonomy and Critical Thinking. 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.
