You will be one of those people patients and families call “angels,” providing compassionate care, strength and courage. This is life changing work!

In addition to having strong clinical skills, Hospice Nurses are “teachers” – helping patients identify their own personal goals of care and helping caregivers have confidence in caring for their family member. They are specialists in symptom management, requiring excellence in assessment and critical thinking.

• Experience in home health, hospice, or acute care strongly preferred
• Current Colorado RN license maintained throughout employment
• Current CPR certification maintained throughout employment
• Valid Colorado driver’s license, reliable transportation, and proof of insurance
