Must have a current/ active CCHT

DaVita is expanding and launching an on-site Skilled Nursing Facility dialysis program at Mulberry Health and Rehabilitation in Franklin, TN (200 Strahl Street, Franklin, TN 37064). The actual work location will be on-site in Franklin, TN (please note that the Nashville address listed above is an administrative hub/cost center site)

• Once launched the anticipated schedule is Monday, Wednesday and Friday with ~12-hour shifts starting around 5 or 6 am.
• The could change based on patient census.
• As operations ramp up initial training and hours will be supported at other local DaVita dialysis centers.

The CCHT will work alongside a RN in the 6-chair dialysis den.

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a SNF 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.

What you can expect

• 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" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.
