Dialysis Experience is NOT required.Spanish speaker strongly preferred, not required.What you can expect:Complexities - You multitask in myriad ways - put down one patient's chart, start another, work with a physician, run out to get a medication, respond to a supplier's request - with lots of loose ends to pull together and a lot of follow up. It's challenging, fun and keeps your day fresh.Educator - Empower your patients by teaching them to administer their own dialysis and to take their health back into their own hands.

Autonomy - Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly.
