Posting Date: 11/20/2025

Location:

1131 N Galena Ave, Dixon, Illinois, , United States of America

No On-Call

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a Skilled Nursing Facility and are transported to dialysis three times a week, placing significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system.

DSD Services teammates have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the organization.

The 6-chair DaVita SNF Dialysis den is located on-site at Alden Debes: 550 S Mulford Rd, Rockford, IL 61108.

$40.00/hr - $56.00/hr

In this role, you will 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 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. Use your core nursing skills to assess, diagnose and implement complete care plans as you look at the whole patient. There is a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients’ lives.
