Field-Based Patient & Family-Centered End-of-Life Care

At VitalCaring, we don't just provide care - we walk alongside patients and families during life's most meaningful moments. As a Hospice Registered Nurse (RN) , you play a vital role in delivering comfort, dignity, and compassionate support at the end of life. This is a role for a nurse who thrives in a field-based, one-on-one care environment and is called to make a lasting impact through presence, empathy, and clinical excellence.

Role Overview

As a Hospice RN at VitalCaring, you are more than a nurse - you are the clinical leader, advocate, and steady guide for your patients and their families.

You'll lead the plan of care, manage symptoms, and ensure every patient receives personalized, comfort-focused care aligned with their goals and wishes. Through each visit, you bring not only clinical expertise, but also reassurance, clarity, and compassion.

• Monitor patient condition and adjust care plans to maintain comfort

Support Patients & Families

• Provide education, emotional support, and guidance throughout the journey

• Help families navigate complex decisions with empathy and clarity

• Build meaningful, trusting relationships in deeply personal moments

Drive Quality & Compliance

• Maintain accurate, timely documentation

• Participate in IDT meetings and care planning

• Support quality and compliance standards

What You Bring

• Active RN license (or compact eligibility)

• Graduate of an accredited nursing program

• Minimum 1 year of clinical nursing experience

• Strong clinical judgment and compassionate care approach

• Ability to manage a caseload independently

• Excellent communication skills in sensitive situations

• Basic EMR proficiency

• Current CPR certification

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

What Sets You Apart

• Experience in hospice, palliative care, or home health

• Strong pain and symptom management skills

• Case management and interdisciplinary care experience

• Ability to quickly build trust with patients and families

• Experience with Homecare Homebase (HCHB)
