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

Depending on location and your clinic, leadership team is incredibly supportive, which keeps the day-to-day work environment relatively stress-free. Having the independence to manage your own scheduling also allows for an excellent work-life balance.

Cons

The initial onboarding and training programs are highly disorganized and lack substance. Additionally, standard pay raises are quite low and do not feel competitive relative to the workload and current market value.
