Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse (PD RN) - Monday-Friday/Day Shift
Company: DaVita
Location: Brookline
Posted on: July 14, 2021
Job Description:
322 Washington
St, Brookline, Massachusetts, 02445, United
States of America
Schedule:
No dialysis experience required - we offer paid
training!
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.
What you can expect:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What We’ll Provide:
More than just pay, our DaVita Rewards package connects
teammates to what matters most including:
- Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k)
match, paid time off, PTO cash out
- Support for you and your family: family resources, EAP
counseling sessions, access Headspace®,
backup child and elder care, maternity/paternity leave and
more
- Paid training: DaVita offers all new dialysis teammates
a robust, paid training program to help you learn the right
dialysis skills. The training is a mix of classroom and hands on
training.
- Opportunity for a nursing career for a lifetime. DaVita
is committed to providing robust development and experiences for
nurses. Whether you chose to remain in a patient facing/caregiving
role or grow (leadership operations, corporate functions,
integrated care, clinical research), we can guide you on that
journey. We offer programs such as:
- THRIVE: Develops high-potential nurses, clinical coordinators
and clinic nurse managers into operational
managers

their supervisory and leadership skill set

you to access new courses and CE credits and explore career paths
on your own time. It also has a newsfeed to keep you up to date on
Village news and functions as a social platform to connect you to
teammates
