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) On Call, you serve as a trusted clinical presence during evenings, weekends, holidays, and urgent moments when patients and families need support most. This is a role for a nurse who thrives in an autonomous, field-based environment and is called to deliver compassionate guidance, rapid clinical decision-making, and exceptional end-of-life care outside of traditional business hours.

Opportunity to create calm and confidence during urgent and emotional situations

Strong partnership with branch teams, physicians, facilities, CareXM, and interdisciplinary partners

As a Hospice RN On Call at VitalCaring, you are more than an after-hours nurse - you are the clinical decision-maker, care coordinator, and reassuring voice patients and families depend on outside of standard operating hours.

You'll triage patient needs, provide telephonic support, complete urgent visits when clinically appropriate, and coordinate seamless care transitions across the hospice team.

Through each interaction, you'll bring clinical expertise, responsiveness, empathy, and comfort to ensure patients receive timely, personalized care aligned with their goals and wishes.
