Patient Care Technician
About The Position
DaVita operates 6-chair dialysis dens on-site at Skilled Nursing Facilities. The DaVita SNF Dialysis facilities are located at Five Points Lake Highlands 9009 White Rock Trl Dallas, Tx 75240 and 2021 Shoaf Dr Irving, Tx 75061. Teammates must be willing to support facilities other than the designated home facility. The dens are open Monday through Saturday. The team typically works three days per week and rotates the Saturday. In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. PCTs will work in conjunction with dialysis RNs to provide dialysis care. Patient Care: Spending the majority of your day in direct one-on-one patient care to provide safe, comfortable and hygienic dialysis treatment. 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" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.
