Registered Nurse - Hospital - Home Health Care/Hospice

We are a nurse-founded hospice organization and a pioneer in end-of-life care since 1978. We take care of each other. As a home care RN, you will do the critically important job of ensuring hospice patients are comfortable, while forging compassionate, meaningful connections. You will be a respected member of our team, both as a caregiver and as a hospice educator. You will be entrusted with the autonomy to make care decisions at the bedside, ensuring not a moment is wasted in bringing comfort to your patients. You will help patients and their loved ones understand and embrace the palliative rather than curative nature of hospice and the benefits of comfort-focused end-of-life care.
Each day is different for our home care RNs. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients in their home, ALF, nursing home facility, hospital or medical facility, adjusting your schedule based on their needs. About once a week you'll come to the office to meet with the rest of your interdisciplinary team: the social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses who work together to provide whole-person support for the patients and families we serve.
