Current CCHT Required

The PCT will work in a den on-site at North Ridge in New Hope, MN

Approximately 10% of all dialysis patients reside in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) and are transported to dialysis three times a week placing a significant burden on patients and adding significant avoidable costs to the health care system. DSD Services teammates will have access to all the capabilities and resources DaVita has to offer, but work in a dialysis den on-site at the SNF.

What you can expect:

In this role, you take responsibility for the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their dialysis treatment stays on track. PCTs will work in a 6-chair dialysis den in conjunction with dialysis RNs to provide dialysis care.

Patient Care: Spending the majority of your day in direct one-on-one patient care to provide safe, comfortable and hygienic dialysis treatment.

Complexity: DSD Dialysis care is a complex but fulfilling service line. Meeting and/or exceeding clinical outcomes are the goals and multitasking is an expectation to meet the needs of the service, the patients and our SNF partners.

Autonomy and Critical Thinking: Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting. Plan to be on your toes at all times. You use your mind constantly. You apply your "core" skills to monitor patients before, during and after dialysis treatment including measuring and recording stats, patient observations, and hemodialysis machine setup. There's a lot to track and manage and the joy comes in witnessing how your care impacts patients' lives.

You must have:
* Valid Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician (CCHT) certification
* High school diploma or equivalent
* Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word and Outlook
You might also have (a.k.a. nice-to-haves):
* Prior Home Hemo Dialysis experience
* Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background
