Great patients and staff - Hemodialysis RN DaVita Employee Review

Stable company to work for with great benefits. DaVita offers tuition reimbursement, so it pays to go back to school and get a degree. They also help with career advancement and development.

If you are new to dialysis, it may take a while to reach a decent wage. You are required to work 12 hour shifts, mostly on your feet, and managers will always look to add to your workload.

The mission to improve patient outcomes is admirable and the clinical teams on the ground are deeply committed to delivering compassionate care. Front line staff demonstrate resilience and a genuine desire to support patients despite operational constraints. The organization offers access to scalable resources and structured processes that, in theory, should create a consistent care environment.

Leadership engagement is inconsistent, reactive, and often disconnected from the realities of facility operations. Training is insufficient, misaligned, and delivered without a coherent framework, creating avoidable performance gaps for new leaders. Decision making relies too heavily on blame shifting rather than root cause analysis, which erodes trust and psychological safety. Expectations are high, yet the support structure is minimal, generating an unsustainable workload that drives burnout rather than performance. Communication from management is siloed, ambiguous, and frequently delivered without actionable context, leaving teams to navigate complex issues without clear guidance. Strategic priorities change rapidly with little cross functional alignment, creating operational instability and confusion at the clinic level.
