DaVita is seeking a Licensed Practical 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.

DaVita – which is Italian for "giving life" – is working to provide quality service to patients, partners, and teammates. Our mission is to be the Provider, Partner, and Employer of Choice.

• CKRT primary management
• Apheresis
• Sole clinical authority for acute dialysis services

Schedule & Structure

This position is ideal for LPNs who:

• Prefer structured long shifts

• Value clear scope boundaries

Qualifications
