Registered Nurse - Peritoneal

If you feel your calling has always been to be both a nurse and educator, then you will love your work as a peritoneal dialysis nurse.

As a Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse (PD RN), you will educate your patients in a clinic setting (not the patients' homes), empowering them to perform their own dialysis at home. You take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their treatment stays on track. Your hours are typically a Monday to Friday schedule-yet your impact on the lives of our patients will be felt every day. Dialysis Experience is NOT required.

What you can expect:

• Core Nursing - You apply your "core" nursing skills to assess, diagnose and implement complete care plans to take care of the whole patient. It's challenging, fun and keeps your day fresh.
• Educator - In addition to training patients to perform their own treatments and giving them the confidence to address complications, PD nurses also educate prospective patients on the potential benefits of peritoneal dialysis and engage physicians and in-center nurses to ensure patients are making an active choice in their dialysis treatment.
• Autonomy - You provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting and will be responsible for customizing care for each patient to help them stay healthy and successful doing their therapy at home. You multitask in myriad ways between educating existing and prospective patients, seeing them in the clinic, and collaborating with physician partners. PD patients and physicians rely on you to guide their therapy, and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.

Full vaccination against COVID-19 or a medical/religious exemption is required.
