Nurse Care Navigator

Overview

As a Clinic Manager at Fresenius Medical Care, you’ll manage the daily operations of our outpatient centers. The role involves hiring, developing, and inspiring a multi-disciplinary team, collaborating with physicians, tracking and delivering superior patient outcomes, and monitoring regulatory and safety requirements. Strong management skills are required and prior direct patient care experience is needed for occasions when the team needs a helping hand.

Job Description

Patient Care Technicians (PCTs) support and collaborate with RNs to provide dialysis treatment to several patients at a time while maintaining the functionality of the clinic. This includes prepping and testing equipment, reviewing treatment sheets, and opening the clinic at 4am for first shift. PCTs need a combination of technical skills and genuine passion to develop deep relationships with patients and improve their quality of life. Qualified candidates must have prior customer service, healthcare, and direct patient care experience.

Success Profile

Fresenius Medical Care nurses are on the front line of patient care, improving the quality of life of every patient, every day. They provide dialysis care to 10-12 patients at any given time, collaborating with their multi-disciplinary team to deliver a unique care plan to each one. This role is all about relationships and the bond you’ll create with patients and their families. Prior dialysis nursing experience is helpful, but many successful candidates come from a background in ICU, PCU, and/or surgery.

Rewards

Inpatient RNs perform dialysis treatments on an acute patient population in a hospital setting, including ICU, ER, Rehab, and Med/Surg units. This role offers a high level of autonomy, working with a wide variety of patients and making quick decisions in a fast-paced environment. Leadership skills and independence are essential, along with the ability to educate patients and provide exceptional customer service. Six months to one year of dialysis experience or some form of critical care nursing experience are also required.
