Davita Star RN Program

[ladynesh]

Hello,

I have been offered a position with Davita but first I have to go through their 10 week training program called STAR. I went to their open house located in Phoenix and was very impressed. I work in the hospital now on the med surg floor and the acuity is very high and very stressful at times. I am a BSN RN and only been a RN for 1 year. I dont have any dialysis experience but I do have nursing experience. I was a LPN for 3.5 yrs and Hospital Corpsman for 9 yrs. I work for a Level 1 non profit and I heard Davita is for profit. My reason for leaving my area is bc I am not happy there and I feel very overwhelmed. Also they don't pay enough. Davita pays so much more and that is always a plus. Do anyone have any suggestions and advice?

Anyone knows how much is the starting salary for a brand new RN in Davita Texas?

I am an LVN here in CA, and am looking into a LVN position with DaVita. I was told it is 3 months of training. I am excited to be looking at real nursing VS what I am currently doing. But I am nervous about the pace. It sounds like it will be a very busy job? I am trying to learn as much as possible about dialysis so I know what im getting myself into.

Any info I need to know?

TIA

I was an LPN in LTC for 9 years. Dialysis is busy, but nowhere even comparable to the drowning, sinking, overwhelming struggle of LTC. The periods of being busy come in short bursts in dialysis. I've been in HD for almost 18 months and I absolutely love it.

Hi,

i applied for STAR RN at Davita. Just done with the phone interview. I will have an in person interview next week. I'm very nervous because I don't have any experience for dialysis. I work in the hospital at MS/Tele. In the tip interview, they said interviewee should have 5 questions for interviewer. Anyone has any idea about those questions? Plsease help. Very appreciated.
