Pros

Sundays guaranteed off, if working in chronic units

Cons

No promotional clinical ladder for nurses who desire to improve dialysis care and communication by remaining at the chair side of patients. Davita assumes we all want to advance as managers--what a loss to nursing! Think about it--the RN is the last line of defense against a medical error (dialysis order or drug given), the staff member who multitasks a dozen patients at one time, monitoring, receiving and deciphering MD orders, accountable for the actions of LVN and technicians, charting accurately.....Davita should consider it a beautiful asset to retain an RN who is content to excel in the clinical arena, and reward accordingly. You designed the "Clinical Coordinator" role as yet another manager, subtracting one more hands-on nurse off the floor (the remaining floor nurses were reduced to essentially grunt nurses with minimal collaboration to make change.

Pros

Not a micromanage environment. Freedom to develop personal work strategies. Competitive pay Great benefits

Cons

A lot of pressure from management to always be improving, without incentive to do so. Davita policy is to "Manage to 60%" So you can guess my suprise when I hit all my goals, and only get 60% of my bonus. Morale is way down in my department. People are being let go because they are earning 4.4 out of 5.0 for customer service scores, and the goal is 4.6. Constant focus on metrix without consideration of changes in the field. Every region develops and practices a different strategy, but my support function is rated against everyone else in my department equally, without consideration of the differences in the field.

a lot of politics to get any place in the organization will give you more and more and more to do without asking and without compensation does not recognize accomplishment no room for growth within organization esp. moving up from facility administrator role medical benifits very expensive and co-pay's/deductabiles high faciltiy administrator bonus based on who likes you and no performance metric too big- communication poor resulting in everyone doing something a differant way can get a job based on who you know not what is require
