Retention Bonus Opportunity

This role is eligible for a retention bonus for dialysis-experienced candidates not currently employed by DaVita, paid out in milestone installments over your service with the Village. (Full terms, eligibility, and payout milestones will be detailed during the offer process.)

About DaVita SNF Dialysis (DSD)

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and are transported to outpatient clinics three times a week-placing a significant physical burden on patients and adding avoidable costs to the healthcare system.

DaVita SNF Dialysis (DSD) brings high-quality renal care directly on-site to residents inside an intimate, modern 6-chair dialysis den. In this specialized role, you serve as the clinical leader-partnering directly with a dedicated Patient Care Technician (PCT) to deliver life-sustaining hemodialysis care without the chaos of hospital on-call or crowded chronic clinics, backed by all the capabilities, technology, and resources DaVita has to offer.

What You Can Expect & What You'll Do

• Autonomous Clinical Leadership: Lead treatment operations within an intimate 6-chair den setting. Perform comprehensive pre- and post-dialysis assessments, evaluate fluid removal orders, monitor hemodynamic stability and vital signs, and manage complex vascular access (AV fistulas, grafts, and central venous catheters / CVCs).
• Direct Teamwork & Mentorship: Direct and collaborate closely with your dedicated PCT teammate, ensuring safe patient workflows, strict infection control, sterile protocols, and continuous quality care.
• Technical & Machine Operations: Operate, set up, and troubleshoot Fresenius hemodialysis machines (2008T / Bibag). Maintain oversight across water treatment systems-including both central water treatment rooms and individual portable Reverse Osmosis (RO) units-and ensure daily water quality testing and infection control standards.
• Holistic Interdisciplinary Care: Partner directly with SNF facility care teams, attending physicians, nephrologists, dietitians, and your Regional Operations Manager (ROM) to optimize clinical outcomes.

Why DaVita SNF Dialysis?

• Predictable Schedule with Work-Life Balance: Set 3-day work weeks (~12-hour shifts) with NO overnight on-call and NO Sunday treatments .
• Meaningful Resident Continuity: Build deep, long-term relationships with a consistent cohort of resident patients and enjoy true 1-on-1 partnership with your dedicated technician.
• High Clinical Autonomy: Experience the independence of a boutique suite with the full clinical governance, safety standards, and operational infrastructure of DaVita.

Qualifications & Requirements

Must Have

• Licensure: Current, active, unrestricted Ohio Registered Nurse (RN) license (or valid Multi-State Compact RN license).
• Clinical Experience: Minimum 1+ years of direct hemodialysis nursing experience (in-center chronic, acute hospital services, or SNF dialysis).
• Clinical Competencies: Demonstrated proficiency in cannulation, CVC access and management, dialysis machine operation, and RO water safety protocols.
• Life Support: Current BLS / CPR certification.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency with electronic medical records (EMR) and clinical documentation (MS Office / Word / Outlook).

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in charge nurse, preceptor, or clinical supervisory roles.
• Nephrology Nursing Certification (CDN or CNN via NNCC).
• Familiarity with Fresenius 2008T equipment and both central water rooms and portable RO systems.
