About The Position

DaVita Kidney Care is bringing its industry-leading clinical quality to patients on-site at skilled nursing facilities (SNF) through a new team called DaVita Skilled Nursing Dialysis Services. This new service line aims to reduce the burden on patients who reside in SNFs and are transported for dialysis three times a week, as well as decrease avoidable healthcare costs.

DSD RNs will troubleshoot and make sound decisions for our patients related to their dialysis treatment and will occasionally partner with SNF staff to coordinate care. The primary work schedule will be 3-4 days a week with some travel to other SNF clinics within your region, and alternating Saturdays will also be required. Your impact on the lives of our patients and their families will be felt every day through patient education, direct patient care, and managing complex dialysis care in an independent setting. You will be expected to use your nursing skills to assess, diagnose, and implement complete care plans, looking at the whole patient.
