You can make an exceptional difference in the lives of our patients and their families dealing with end‑stage renal failure or chronic kidney disease.

If you haven't considered Nephrology before, read on as we think that you should. Dialysis Experience is NOT required.

• Long‑term patient relationships. Build meaningful relationships with patients and their families in an intimate outpatient setting.
• A team that feels and functions like a family. Staff RNs are a central part of a small interdisciplinary team of clinicians. Work alongside and support technicians, other nurses, dietitians, social workers, physicians and the center manager.
• Fun is one of our core values. Happier nurses = healthier patients.
• Specialized, complex care. RNs deliver care to patients who are often dealing with multiple comorbidities which require unique treatment plans and the ability to leverage a broad range of nursing skills and knowledge.
• Fast paced. Our RNs oversee a group of patients (census dependent on state laws) with the support of PCTs to conduct patient observations, measuring stats and machine set up. You will work with your head, heart and hands each day.
• Schedule. Shifts are typically 10‑12 hours, 3‑4 days per week. Schedule times will vary by locations but most of our RNs work early morning or day shifts. Some holidays required.
• A clinical leader. DaVita has the highest percentage of facilities meeting or exceeding CMS’s standards in the government’s two key performance programs. We expect our nurses to commit to improving patient health through clinical goal setting and quality improvement initiatives.

• Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out
• Support for you and your family: family resources, EAP counseling sessions, access Headspace, backup child and elder care, maternity/paternity leave and more

• Paid training: DaVita offers all new dialysis teammates a robust, paid training program to help you learn the right dialysis skills. The training is a mix of classroom and hands‑on training.
• Opportunity for a nursing career for a lifetime: DaVita is committed to providing robust development and experiences for nurses. Whether you choose to remain in a patient‑facing/caregiving role or grow (leadership operations, corporate functions, integrated care, clinical research), we can guide you on that journey. We offer programs such as:
  • THRIVE:
    Develops high‑potential nurses, clinical coordinators and clinic nurse managers into operational managers
  • DSSL & SPARK – Gives clinical teammates the chance to develop their supervisory and leadership skill set
  • 100+ CEU courses at no cost
  • Gateway: A web‑based application available to teammates for career planning, learning and training, and recognition. It allows you to access new courses and CE credits and explore career paths on your own time. It also has a newsfeed to keep you up to date on Village news and functions as a social platform to connect you to teammates

• Training may take place in a facility or a training clinic with a class of new teammates other than your assigned home clinic
• You must be flexible on the final home clinic placement; it may be in a different location. There is also the potential to float to various clinics during and after your training
• You must have a flexible schedule and be able to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and holiday
• Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice;
  Graduate Nurse pre‑licensure available in some locations
