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