Dialysis RN

Hey there. I'm looking for a Registered Nurse to join our acute dialysis team in Los Angeles, CA. This isn't your typical clinic job; you'll be working inside a hospital, providing critical dialysis care directly to patients there. It's a role where your clinical skills and independent judgment are essential every single day.

What You'll Be Doing

The core of this job is delivering acute dialysis treatment in a hospital setting. You'll report to an Acute Manager or Charge Nurse, and you might also help supervise Patient Care Technicians and LVNs.

• You're administering medications per physician orders and performing thorough pre- and post treatment patient assessments.
• A big part of the day involves setting up, initiating, and terminating dialysis treatments. That includes connecting/disconnecting catheters and cleaning the sites.
• Before any treatment runs, you complete water quality checks and equipment safety verifications. A second verification is sometimes needed, too.
• Keeping the machines running right is on you. You'll clean and disinfect them per policy, perform quality control, and report any problems to our biomedical tech or manager.
• Your documentation has to be spot on. You ensure all patient information, treatment charges, and required data are accurate and submitted correctly.
• Communication is constant. You'll do pre- and post treatment handoffs with the hospital nursing staff and keep physicians updated on patient status.
• We provide different services like Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, CRRT, or Plasmapheresis (if we're contracted for it), so you'll need to be ready for that variety.
• You’ll participate in infection control monitoring and use all necessary personal protective equipment.
• Part of your role involves helping us hit our quality goals for patient outcomes while using supplies and labor hours effectively.
• If something comes up; a patient concern, a safety incident; you notify the Supervisor, Medical Director, or Hospital Liaison right away following policy.

The Must Haves & Nice to Haves

Let's talk about what you need to walk in the door. And what would make me really excited to see on your resume.

• A current RN license for this state (or a compact license) is non negotiable. You have to keep it active and in good standing.
• CPR certification is required, and it needs to be approved by the hospital we work in.
• I'd love to see 12 months or more of recent nursing experience. It's preferred.
• If you've got prior experience caring for dialysis patients? That's a huge plus. We definitely prefer it.

A Few Other Things We Need

The hospital environment means extra layers of rules and readiness. Here’s what that looks like day to day:
