Pros

Comprehensive, structured training — DaVita provides a thorough onboarding and dialysis-specific training program that supports nurses transitioning into hemodialysis, including hands-on preceptorship and ongoing education, helping RNs feel confident and competent even without prior dialysis experience.

Cons

Lower starting pay compared to acute care settings — Some RNs report that the pay rate at DaVita can be lower than hospital-based roles, particularly when factoring in the specialized skill set and workload required in outpatient dialysis.

Pros

Stable company to work for with great benefits. DaVita offers tuition reimbursement, so it pays to go back to school and get a degree. They also help with career advancement and development.

Cons

If you are new to dialysis, it may take a while to reach a decent wage. You are required to work 12 hour shifts, mostly on your feet, and managers will always look to add to your workload.

Pros

Patient connections is rewarding work, great hands on experience, paid on the job training, training for PCTs is at least consistent.

Cons

12+ hour long hours, emotionally and physically taxing, unqualified management, poor communication, inconsistent scheduling, high turn over, very little amount of opportunity for movement within the company despite preaching that they encourage it. The culture and values are heavily spoken about with little to no enforcement. The position requires significant dedication to learn all the moving parts of the clinic.
