Pros

Paid training is offered for new graduates. The star learning program teaches a lot. They are Closed on major Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas and closed every Sunday. There is definitely room for growth and opportunities if nephrology and dialysis happens to be your thing. Tuition reimbursement for PCTs who want to become an RN and RNs wanting to pursue BSNs and MSNs

Cons

Really low hourly pay for an RN job considering the heavy work load. It’s a 16 hour workday and only a half hour lunch break. If you don’t have a good technician to work with you will suffer gravely. You have to deal with lazy PCTs who refuse to do their job right But then try tell you how to do yours. Starting at 5am and getting out close to 9pm is grueling. Team mates will Try to guilt trip you into not quitting by saying that dialysis is the best and all other areas of nursing are no good.

Pros

Management supports a work-life balance, hours are flexible, okay benefits. Good training opportunities and there is effort by management to support a good work culture. 6 weeks at 80% of pay Paternity/Maternity & Adoption leave. 401K with 6% matching. For 2 adults, we pay for Davita's Anthem BCBS healthcare plan and it is $350/month (4,700 deductible).

Cons

Payscale isn't aggressive - 1% raise each year. You also may be asked to cover other clinics temporarily without fair compensation for the extra workload.
