Dialysis Experience Required

The PCT Float works in a dialysis den on-site at the Skilled Nursing Facility.

MUST BE CCHT CERTIFIED FOR THIS ROLE

The SNF dialysis CCHT must be willing to float to support DaVita SNF dialysis dens. Shifts are approximately 12+ hours. Each den has 6 -8 chairs. The CCHT may be asked to support other local SNF dens, to include but not limited to Alden Poplar Creek, Alden Lakeland, Bella Terra Lombard, Citadel of Bourbonnais, Alden Debes and Crystal Pines.

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF and are transported to dialysis three times a week placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer. Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the Village.

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. 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.

Some details about this position:

• Your training will include a combination of classroom and hands-on learning, through DaVita’s award-winning training programs
• Training may take place in a facility or a training clinic with a class of new teammates other than your assigned home clinic
• Hours of work may vary during the training period; however, you will typically be working between 32-40 hours per week during training
  
  

You must have:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• MUST SHOW A VALID AND ACTIVE CCHT ON THE NNCC WEBSITE
• Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook

• Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background
