Nurse Practitioner- Somerset, NJ - Hybrid Remote
About The Position
Join DaVita Integrated Kidney Care (IKC) as a Nurse Practitioner in the Somerset, NJ market. This role is designed to transform lives and make a real difference for patients with complex kidney conditions by helping them navigate a challenging healthcare system and receive holistic, integrated care. The position operates on a hybrid-remote model, involving occasional work from home (telehealth) alongside travel across an assigned geographic area, which includes dialysis clinics and nephrology practices. Travel expectations may vary based on business needs and patient population.

This involves utilizing prescriptive authority, medication management, and diagnostic interpretation in collaboration with nephrologists and interdisciplinary teams. The role also entails clinical leadership, ensuring care coordination aligns with medical treatment plans and addresses both medical and psychosocial needs. The schedule is full-time, Monday–Friday, self-managed with the flexibility to accommodate patient and nephrology partner availability, and does not include nights, weekends, or on-call duties.
