If so, this new, highly specialized Nursing role at DaVita is for you! We are looking to hire a Centralized Anemia Manager (“CAM”) Registered Nurse for anemia and iron protocol management at our local dialysis facilities.

In this role, you will work directly with our care team of Medical Director’s, Nephrologists, and clinic teammates to provide professional nursing care for ESKD patients specific to anemia management. You will get to train, coach, and mentor new Nurses on the basics of anemia management and anemia management protocols to ensure your team is delivering the highest level of care to our patients. This role matters. We have seen facilities that have a Centralized Anemia Manager have a higher protocol adherence and more timely dose adjustments.
