DaVita reviews

I managed to snag a four-days-a-week position with full benefits (not pro rated like some places) and this is the biggest reason for me to stay (for now). My day is 8 hours (including lunch, again, not like in some places where lunch is considered off the clock) and I rarely stay late or have to come in early. Last but NOT least, I enjoy the familiarity of working with patients I can see twice a week who are in treatment 3-4 hours. It means I can triage everyone's needs and usually have time all I need to do. In a short time, I have expanded my knowledge base and experience re end stage renal disease and that was my goal in coming to work here.

Most of the people I work with are great and this includes patients. The manager is not strong at all. While I think he is concerned about us personally, there is so much pressure on him from those just above him that he has to do paperwork and worry about money first, not about an employee's mother's dying etc. He just gets squished by the big guys and we have to solve our own problems like staffing, patient complaint complaints etc. When we should have some manager guidance.
