salary rate

Lacie, BSN, RN · Mar 21, 2007

Hey I am proud to say that Davita has proven to be a great company to me. I do understand sometimes there are clinics who get a FA that fails to run a good clinic but there are reports put in place that see a trend and they will pull them out and get a better fit. If you happen to be there for a while it can easily become you. They have great bonus sets some just for being there and others based on things such as patient treatment qualities. There are to many benefits for me to list but they are great in my mind. What I Enjoy the most is the PCT's handle most aspects of treatment and we supervise as needed but I get the chance to treat the patient and relay provide great 1 on 1 care. That is why we all started this career In my mind. Oh there is also a Dialysis cruise ship where you can work a little and cruise free for vacation. We also have outreach where you can go to a third world area and help open free clinics.

Bravo!! I'm in fact on my week training out of town with full pay and all expenses having a blast actually lol. Dont get to go home till Friday but learning alot. Yes the FA is the primary one to make or break any facility. If you have good management and a good medical director then it should be smooth sailing. :) Thus far I cant complain of what Davita has had to offer me.

SO your in theory class now its a class . But wait for Davita Academy basically a 3 day pep rally with one night provided with A bar,DJ dance floor and lights. Kent Thiry always asks for people who remember the Core Values and mission statement and randomly ask during the week. IF you do it you win 50 American express gift checks for every team mate at your clinic ! SO remember s.i.t.t.c.a.f.f. ! Oh when you go there is a newer vice president that took a guy called Yoda's Place you should let him know you chated with a guy that trianed him when he first started. I was then in Burlington N.C. he had to endure 3 days of reality traing in a real clinic to see what its like. We had about 60 patients daily so he got a good taste ! Then went on to his multi millon dollar job. I read today Kent thiry CEo for DAvita grossed 28 million last year. Think we went into the wrong field ?

Medsaint,

Could You Tell Me How To Inquire Or Who To Contact About The Dialysis Cruise Ship Or How To Go To A Third World Country To Help Open These Clinics. What A Great Opportunity.

In New Jesey per-diem dialysis nurses make a minimum of $40.00/hr and often $50.00/hr. I cannot believe the low salaries posted on this site. Nurses need to stand up for wage increases. Everyone is always sympathizing with teacher wages. What about nurses?

You are so right. I too can not believe that they make such a small amount. LPNs in NY make more than that. My girl friend in NY makes 45/hr on wkdays for per diem in a dialysis clinic.

I used to be a clinical manager and I know that the salary range varies, but as a new grad the usual in Illinois is anywhere between $21-23/hr as a fulltime employee.

Were you successful? Sure hope so.

How do you like working for DaVita? Are you pushed out the door before you can really complete your job? By the way, I've been a dialysis nurse for 2 years. I started out at $21 an hour (had been a BSN for 16 years at that time). Got a raise to $23. Then DaVita bought us and they did a cost adjustment raise and I get $25 an hour.
