Registered Nurse - Peritoneal
3110 H G Mosley PkwySuite 100, Longview, Texas, , United States of America

As a Peritoneal Dialysis Registered Nurse (PD RN), you will be providing education on peritoneal dialysis to your patients and their care partners in a clinical setting, which then allows them to dialyze from home. You have responsibility over the complete ongoing care of each patient to ensure their treatment stays on track.

We are looking for a self-motivated, organized individual who is passionate about patient care and excited for the opportunity to independently manage their cases with confidence and accountability.

* Dialysis Experience - NOT required
* Monday-Friday (8-hour day - flexible schedule)
* Scheduled home visits and on-call shifts vary by program and are compensated accordingly.

What you can expect:

Provide comprehensive patient care in an independent setting.

* Apply your "core" nursing skills to assess, diagnose and implement complete care plans as you look at the whole patient. As a case manager, you will also track and organize your patients.
* Empower your patients by teaching them to administer their own dialysis and to take their health back into their own hands.
* Training patients takes time and mental energy and the rewards of that investment come in seeing the transformation of your patients from feeling sick and afraid, to strong, independent, and able to do the daily things that they love. Educating patients on their options when it comes to dialysis not only helps them own their journey, but also expands the program to people who will benefit greatly from PD.
* Home RN partners to provide ongoing dialysis treatment education activities supporting the healthy growth of the home program. This includes educating new in-center hemodialysis patients in the clinics.

Lead, coach and guide with your nursing skills.

* You will work independently, while also building deep relationships with patients, support systems and care partners.

Requirements:

* Current Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice
* Minimum of 12 months of RN experience
* Current driver's license, reliable transportation, and vehicle insurance in state of residence.
* Associates Degree in Nursing (A.D.N) from accredited school of nursing required or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N). A three-year diploma from accredited diploma program may be substituted for nursing degree.
* Basic computer skills and proficiency in MS Word & Outlook.

Preferred:

* Previous Chronic Hemodialysis, Acute Dialysis and/or Home Hemodialysis (HHD) or Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) nursing experience
* Training/Teaching/Healthcare Education background
* Previous case management experience
* Certified Nephrology Nurse (CNN); Certified Dialysis Nurse (CDN) or Certified Peritoneal Dialysis Nurse (CPDN)

What we'll provide:

* Clear and competitive career growth for a lifetime nursing career.
* If you are new to dialysis, we'll provide a 9-12 week paid-training and the support to guide you through to becoming a nephrology nurse.
* Comprehensive benefits package: including medical, dental, vision, 401k match, family resources, pet insurance, mental health resources, back-up child and elder care and so much more.
