This position is located in East / South / Central Kansas City, MO in the hospital setting. No PRIOR Dialysis experience is required. DaVita provides a very comprehensive 10-12 weeks of training.

We are seeking a Registered Nurse who is looking to give life in a hospital setting. You can make an exceptional difference in the lives of our patients and their families dealing with end-stage renal failure or chronic kidney disease. Do you desire to deliver care in an empathetic, compassionate way - the way you'd want your own care to be?

If you haven't considered Nephrology before, read on as we think that you should.

  • To oversee a group of patients with the support of PCTs to conduct patient observations, measuring stats and machine set up.
  • You will work with your head, heart, and hands each day in a fast-paced environment.
  • Specialty in multiple renal therapies. Acute (inpatient) RNs may deliver nephrology care through Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), and Apheresis.
  • Work daily in a hospital setting. Deliver dialysis to patients at a contracted healthcare system, and become an integral part of both the hospital and DaVita team.
  • Dynamic environment. As an Acute (Inpatient) Dialysis Nurse you'll provide specialty nephrology care within a variety of settings (ICU, CCU, ED, and more).
  • Schedule: Provide lifesaving care during regularly scheduled and on-call shifts. Schedules vary by hospital system. For this role, expect to know your weekly schedule in advance, but your daily schedule may change depending on patient needs.
  • DaVita's Inpatient Dialysis Program is Joint Commission Accredited.

  • Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, paid time off, PTO cash out.

  • Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice.
  • Associates Degree in Nursing (A.D.N.) from accredited school of nursing required; Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.); three-year diploma from accredited diploma program may be substituted for nursing degree.
