DaVita Clinical FA

[Pigeotto, BSN]

Is anyone a nurse facility administrator for DaVita? I was offered the role, but they never mentioned pay. I don't trust glassdoor and would like a heads up from Clinical FAs. I was offered an FA role at one clinic and provide assistance to the PD nurse. I'm a PD nurse now.

Working as a PD nurse with ~8hrs of overtime a week doing hemodialysis, I make a lot. I don't want to make less, but I know clinical FA's make more than non clinical. I also know there are bonuses and higher positions may exist in the future. I don't know if I would be allowed to pick up HD shifts bc I'll be a salaried FA. I just need to know if the money is worth it. I understand it's a different environment and its not working with patients, etc etc....I'm just asking about a ballpark for clinical FA compensation + bonuses. I'm in the Austin, TX area. Thanks

FA in MI. Did you accept the position? What were you offered/ did you accept? 'm not sure what the going rate in TX is but I know how much I make currently.

Range for New FA 75-90k depending on previous role and qualifications.

They gave me so many offers. Started at 80k and I said no it wasn't enough. I thought clinical FAs made more than non clinical FAs and I make way more than that. Then I was told bonuses are not set in stone and depend on DQI and other factors. The ROD didn't believe me when I told her how much I make. She had to look at my hours and pay to calculate it. A week later told me 85, two weeks later they said 90, then mentioned no FA in the region makes that much. After two more negotiations they offered 105. I finally asked them to stop making me offers unless it was 130. They then offered me a CC position without a pay increase, and I politely declined.

Yeah, that offer seems low. I'm Charge in a fairly moderate COL area and make upper 90s before bonuses, 6 figures with bonuses included. I would imagine the FA position is compensated higher than the CN role. I work for the competition but I imagine pay scales between the big companies are fairly similar.
