Posting Date

08/10/2026

14620 W Encanto BlvdSte 110, Goodyear, Arizona, 85395-1616, United States of America

No On-Call

Dialysis Experience Required

The primary job location is on-site at DaVita SNF Dialysis at Palm Valley 13575 W Mcdowell Rd Goodyear, AZ 85395.

Local DaVita SNF dialysis dens are also located at Haven Sky Harbor (Phoenix, AZ), Resolve (Phoenix, AZ) and Plaza (Scottsdale, AZ). The RN works in a 6-chair dialysis den. It is likely to be a 3-day per week schedule with NO on-call.

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a Skilled Nursing Facility 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, and will work to quickly leverage these to develop the infrastructure and rapidly grow the new service line. Ideal teammates will have experience in dialysis, get energized by improving the lives of patients, and have a track record of finding ways to Get Stuff Done (GSD). Teammates must be comfortable working autonomously and have demonstrated the ability to collaborate with cross-functional resources across the organization.

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. DaVita Skilled Nursing Facility Dialysis RNs will troubleshoot, and make sound decisions for our patients related to their dialysis treatment and will occasionally partner alongside the SNF staff to coordinate care.

Patient education. RNs by training, are Educators. As a DSD Services RN, you will be provided the opportunity to conduct impactful and meaningful education to patients and their families in the SNF setting.

Direct Patient Care: The RN’s primary responsibility is to independently demonstrate best practice techniques and deliver optimal dialysis care. The role includes supervising Dialysis Technician who are tasked with delivering tandem care to meet the capacity and efficiency goals of the program.

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" 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.

You must have:

Previous Chronic Hemodialysis, Acute Dialysis and/or Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) nursing experience
Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice;
Minimum of 12 months' of RN experience.
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
Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook

You might also have (a.k.a. nice-to-haves):

Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background
Certified Nephrology Nurse (CNN) or Certified Dialysis Nurse (CDN)

What We’ll Provide:

More than just pay, our DaVita Rewards package connects teammates to what matters most including:

Comprehensive Benefits
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.

We offer programs such as:
