About the position

DaVita is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Registered Nurse to join our outpatient dialysis center located at 1595 Stockbridge Road, Jonesboro, Georgia. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of patients suffering from end-stage renal failure or chronic kidney disease. Our mission is to provide quality service to our patients, partners, and teammates, and we are looking for individuals who share our commitment to delivering empathetic and compassionate care. As a Registered Nurse at DaVita, you will be responsible for building meaningful and long-term relationships with patients and their families in an intimate outpatient setting. You will work as part of a supportive team that relies on each other in a positive environment. Your role will involve overseeing a group of patients, conducting patient observations, measuring vital statistics, and setting up dialysis machines. You will be expected to leverage a broad range of nursing skills and knowledge to deliver care to patients who often have multiple co-morbidities requiring unique treatment plans. No prior dialysis experience is required, as we provide comprehensive training that may take place in a facility or a training clinic other than your assigned home clinic. Flexibility is key, as you will need to work mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. At DaVita, we strive to create a community where all teammates feel they belong, and we are committed to embedding diversity and belonging into everything we do.
