Nephrology Registered Nurse

Are you an Acute Care, ICU, Telemetry, ER, or Med-Surg RN eager to transition into a high-impact nephrology specialty?

DaVita SNF Dialysis (DSD) is launching a brand-new on-site dialysis den suite at Salem Health & Rehabilitation Center in Salem, VA! We are seeking a compassionate, autonomous Registered Nurse who is ready to learn dialysis through our comprehensive, paid clinical training program.

• Deliver specialized, 1-on-1 hemodialysis care to End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) residents within an intimate 6-chair den setting.
