DaVita Careers – Registered Nurse RN PD

Job Description:

• As a Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse (PD RN), you educate your patients on how to do their own dialysis from their homes, and you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their treatment stays on track. You will work a Monday to Friday schedule-yet your impact on the lives of our patients will be felt every day.
• If you haven’t considered Nephrology nursing before, read on as we think that you should. Dialysis Experience is NOT required.

Job Responsibilities:

• Complexities – You multitask in myriad ways – put down one patient’s chart, start another, work with a physician, run out to get a medication, respond to a supplier’s request – with lots of loose ends to pull together and a lot of follow up.
• It’s challenging, fun and keeps your day fresh.
• Autonomy – 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.
• Educator – Empower your patients by teaching them to administer their own dialysis and to take their health back into their own hands. If you feel your calling has always been to be both a nurse and educator, then you will love your work as a peritoneal dialysis nurse.
• Training patients takes time and mental energy and the rewards of that investment come in seeing the transformation of your patients from feeling sick and afraid, to strong and independent.

Qualification & Experience:

• Associates Degree in Nursing (A.D.N) from accredited school of nursing required;
• Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N); three-year diploma from accredited diploma program may be substituted for nursing degree
• Minimum of 12 months’ of RN experience
• Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice
• Current driver’s license, reliable transportation, and vehicle insurance in state of residence
• Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook
