Summary

DaVita is seeking a PRN RN to deliver dialysis care in skilled nursing facilities (SNF). You'll provide on-site treatment to patients with end-stage renal disease, offering high-quality, compassionate care directly in the facility setting.

Job description

What you can expect

In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. DSD RNs will troubleshoot, and make sound decisions for our patients related to their dialysis treatment and will occasionally partner alongside the SNF staff to coordinate care. Role will pick up for vacations and call-outs across all Mass facilities.

  • Patient education: RNs by training, are Educators. As a DSD Services RN, you will be provided the opportunity to conduct impactful and meaningful education to patients and their families in the SNF setting.
  • Direct Patient Care: The RN's primary responsibility is to independently demonstrate best practice techniques and deliver optimal dialysis care. The role includes supervising Dialysis Technician who are tasked with delivering tandem care to meet the capacity and efficiency goals of the program.
