DaVita is seeking a Global Nephrology Registered Nurse in an outpatient dialysis center. 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.

DaVita – which is Italian for "giving life" – is working to provide quality service to patients, partners, and teammates. Our mission is to be the Provider, Partner, and Employer of Choice.

• Long‑term patient relationships. Build meaningful relationship with patients and their family 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 co‑morbidities which require unique treatment plans and the ability to leverage a broad range of nursing skills and knowledge.

• Fast paced. RNs oversee a group of patients 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 vary by location but most 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. Nurses are expected 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 to Headspace, backup child and elder care, maternity/paternity leave and more.

• Paid training: DaVita offers all new dialysis teammates a robust, paid training program combining 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 role or grow into leadership, corporate functions, integrated care, or clinical research, we can guide your journey. Programs include THRIVE, DSSL & SPARK, over 100 CEU courses at no cost, and Gateway.

• 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, and there is also the potential to float to various clinics during and after training.

• Flexible schedule required: mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.

• A desire to deliver care empathetically and compassionately.

• Experience assessing, troubleshooting, and making sound recommendations in stressful situations.

• Excellent communication skills to listen and communicate with patients and teammates.

• Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) from an accredited nursing school required;
