Pros

Work is autonomous, interesting job, independent decision making. Fairly flexible schedule. Most nurses work as a team.

Cons

Very low pay for the amount of responsibility, unskilled management, upper management are all male. Address the adult work force like children with their cartoon character educational programs.

Pros

The dialysis modality allows nurses to know their patients well, therefore, allowing one to more easily assess and monitor changes.

Cons

If you have your BSN, why join Davita? You have been educated in leadership, a problem-solver/change agent. Since 2008, when the clinical coordinator role (another manager) was introduced, actual RN monitoring on the floor was reduced, making policies a near impossibility to implement. Thus, when things go wrong, a culture of silence results, as no one wants to write incident reports. If you are considering joining this company, at least make an informed decision--google: Davita scapegoat. There -- a history lesson of how one nurse is narrowed down and made culpable when things go wrong in one of their units. New RN -- There are great jobs out there--my advice is to network, find a nurse manager, who will be your role model on which to build a career, never compromising your integrity to do what is right for your patient.

Pros

All of the wonderful patients. They are the reasons why I actually stay in the field of dialysis. They make my day.

Cons

Always short staffed & never enough supplies. Too many people think that they are managers & in charge. Negative attitudes from all of the staff. Nurses & techs speaking in other languages on the floor to each other. Too many cliques an bad mouthing of other employees.
