Registered Nurse National Float

Posting Date

01/13/ Cinder Bed Rd Ste 200, Lorton, Virginia, , United States of America

National Float Pool

Current Dialysis Experience Required

DaVita Kidney Care has brought industry-leading clinical quality to patients on-site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through 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 health care system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer.

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.

What you can expect:

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.

• The DaVita SNF Dialysis National Float Pool/ Travel RN will cover high-priority staffing needs as determined by the business. The RN can be deployed to dens nationwide. This includes providing RN coverage for situations like new dialysis den launches, increased patient census, PTO/ Leave of Absence coverage that is over 1 week in duration, or covering after a teammate's termination.
• DaVita SNF Dialysis will provide an hourly pay rate to account for the float requirements. Travel cost is reimbursed (flight, mileage, lodging & food).
• Scheduling will be posted 2 weeks in advance for the month ahead.
• To meet coverage needs, you must be willing to meet state RN licensing requirements in multiple states.

Your impact on the lives of our patients and their families will be felt every day.

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 Technician 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.
