Build meaningful relationship with patients and their family in an intimate outpatient setting. * A team that feels and functions like a family. Staff RNs are a central part of a small interdisciplinary team of clinicians. Work alongside technicians, nurses, dietitians, social workers, physicians and the center manager. * Fun is one of our core values. Happier nurses = healthier patients. * Specialized, complex care. RNs deliver care to patients who are often dealing with multiple co-morbidities which require unique treatment plans and the ability to leverage a broad range of nursing skills and knowledge. * Fast paced. You will work hard with your head, heart and hands each day. * Schedule. Shifts are typically 10-12 hours, 3-4 days/week, Mon-Sat (closed Sundays). Schedule times will vary by location but most of our RNs work early morning or day shifts between 5am-8pm. Some holidays required.

DaVita is committed to providing robust development and experience 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. * Education assistance and license reimbursement: annual $3,000 tuition reimbursement and potential $25,000 scholarship opportunity. CNN and CDN certification reimbursement. * 3000+ locations across the U.S. for wherever life may take you. * Comprehensive benefits package: including medical, dental, vision, 401k plan, $2,500 cash gift for new parents, back-up child and elder care and so much more Some details about this position: * Your 9-10 weeks of training will include a combination of classroom and hands-on learning, through DaVita's award-winning training programs * 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 a flexible schedule and be able to work mornings, evenings, Saturdays, and some holiday Requirements: * Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice * Minimum of 1 year of RN experience required * A desire to deliver care in an empathetic, compassionate way.
