DaVita is seeking a Registered Nurse to join our outpatient dialysis team. In this role, you'll provide life-saving care to patients with end-stage renal disease or chronic kidney conditions. Responsibilities include delivering direct patient care in an outpatient dialysis setting, monitoring patients, managing treatment plans, collaborating with a clinical team, and educating patients and families on kidney health and treatment options.
Paid training provided for nurses without dialysis experience; new grads accepted in specific roles; student nurse shadow and 4-6 week internships offered.
Outpatient clinics operate with no overnights and no Sundays; 3-4 shifts per week varying between 8-12 hours; acute roles require 12-hour shifts with on-call requirements.
Neighborhoods+Prospective residents weigh multiple distinct micro-markets across the metro area. Spokane Valley offers a more expansive suburban layout with convenient arterial access, contrasting with Spokane's South Hill, which is favored for its mature tree canopy, historic Craftsman homes, and immediate proximity to major hospital hubs. Nearby options include the master-planned suburban enclave of Liberty Lake to the east and the Northside towards the county line, allowing healthcare workers to choose between dense neighborhood grids and properties offering larger lot sizes.

Getting around+Spokane Valley sits directly along the Interstate 90 corridor, which serves as the primary regional artery connecting east-valley residential areas to major medical centers and downtown employers. While everyday commutes across the region are generally considered short and manageable compared to large West Coast metros, local drivers frequently note congestion during peak rush hours, particularly along key highway merges and major shopping thoroughfares.

Outdoors+Outdoor recreation is central to life in the Spokane Valley region across all four seasons. Paved routes like the Centennial Trail stretch from Spokane through the Valley toward the Idaho border, accommodating runners, cyclists, and rollerbladers alongside the Fish Lake Trail. Nearby waters such as the Spokane River, Little Spokane River, and Lake Coeur d'Alene offer summer paddleboarding, boating, and river floating, while Mt. Spokane provides nearby winter skiing and snowboarding.

Living in Spokane Valley
Spokane Valley offers relocating nurses an accessible suburban base situated midway between urban Spokane and North Idaho's recreational lakes. For healthcare professionals seeking functional space, the Valley delivers single-family neighborhoods with sizable yards, garages, and streamlined access to the Interstate 90 corridor. Living here places four-season adventure at your doorstep: trail runs along the Centennial Trail, summer floating on the Spokane River, weekend trips to Lake Coeur d'Alene, and winter skiing at Mt. Spokane. Urban amenities, from the roaring Spokane Falls and Looff Carrousel at Riverfront Park to coffee houses and regional dining, sit just a quick drive west. However, newcomers must navigate practical tradeoffs. Traffic bottlenecks develop along primary retail strips and highway commutes during shift changes. Furthermore, true winter cold, snow, and short daylight hours require seasonal preparation, and local wages do not always keep step with rising regional living expenses. For nurses who value outdoor recreation, manageable urban proximity, and suburban breathing room, Spokane Valley provides a balanced Pacific Northwest landing pad.
