Overview

Fresenius Medical Care nurses are on the front line of patient care, improving the quality of life of every patient, every day.

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.
