Our client is seeking compassionate and skilled Registered Nurses to join their Louisville-based clinical team. In this role, you will be the frontline of care for patients undergoing life-sustaining hemodialysis treatments.

• Clinical Oversight: Monitor patients during treatment, assessing vital signs and responding to any complications or changes in condition.
• Access Management: Administer medications, fluid therapy, and manage vascular access (fistulas, grafts, and catheters).
• Collaboration: Work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including Nephrologists and Dietitians, to implement individualized care plans.
• Education: Empower patients and their families by providing education on renal diet, fluid restrictions, and treatment adherence.

Qualifications

• Licensure: Active, unencumbered RN License in the state of Kentucky (or compact state).
• Certification: BLS certification required.
• Experience: Previous dialysis experience is highly preferred, but we are open to RNs with strong acute care or ICU backgrounds who are eager to specialize in Nephrology.
• Skills: Exceptional communication, attention to detail, and a "patient-first" mindset.
