Hi,

I am relocating and looking for opportunities with DaVita. Is there anyone who works for this company that could tell me some of the pros and cons? I've been in dialysis a long time, and while DaVita is well known, I've never had much experience with this company. The previous company I worked for had employees that had been working for over 20 years. That tells you a little something about the culture. If I wasn't relocating I probably would've stayed too. Anyway, the position I'm looking at is a FA position.

I am treated well by Davita, there are so many opportunities

I just started and can add a few things. It's location specific. My "home" is in a state of change with a new FA and almost all new nurses and techs. So, I'm training in a nearby location that is smoothly run from the top down. The company has many programs to assist employees in any endeavor including adopting a child, continuing education, and even a bonus for nurses coming out of school. The pay was 25% higher than either of the 2 hospitals in town. Yes, it will be redundant and stressful some days, but what job isn't? Plus, no overnight shifts and I have off Sundays which is great for family time.

From what my friends are telling me, the "non profit" hospitals they are working for are treating them just as Wal-Mart would!

No offense but i hope you can stay this positive for the long haul. This company has kicked many a great nurses' butt. I came in with a pocketful of lies and now with eyes wide open... I wont last long. Been a nurse for 20+ years and this is the most frustrating job I have ever had!

Many Nurses and Techs stay for the long haul with Davita

Dialysis is not what it used to be, so many regulations coming in from CMS

Companies and I mean all companies who in dialysis have to follow these rules and regulations or get out
