AT Home Care & Hospice: Registered Nurse - Home Health

Registered Nurse
We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation's leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.
Our hospice organization kickstarts careers in caring, promotes from within, and provides a nationally recognized best-in-class employee experience. Supported by industry-leading experts and a growing network of programs in 15+ states, VITAS empowers team members to grow toward their goals while transforming patients' lives.
Our priority is to care: As a home care registered nurse (RN), you will ensure hospice patients are comfortable and forge compassionate, meaningful connections with the people in their lives.
Patients and families trust VITAS nurses to guide them through the end-of-life journey, and maintaining that trust is our highest priority.
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.
You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients wherever they call home, whether that means a private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility. Most VITAS nurses make 4-6 visits each day.
Once a week, you'll visit the local program office to meet with an interdisciplinary team, including social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses, who collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.
A VITAS nurse is the end-of-life caregiver everyone deserves. In addition to having your RN license, at least two years of hospice nursing experience, and reliable transportation, you'll approach your work with the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Currently licensed to practice nursing in the state where the VITAS program is located.
A minimum of two years of nursing experience in hospice, home health, or community health in the last five years.
