Make a Difference After Hours—Without Spending Nights at a Facility

Looking for a nursing opportunity that offers independence, flexibility, and meaningful work?

At Mountain Valley Hospice, our after‑hours nurses provide compassionate care and reassurance to patients and families when they need it most. Unlike traditional night shift positions, our after‑hours RNs are primarily on‑call from home, responding to patient needs and making visits when necessary.

You'll have the independence to work from home between patient care needs while remaining available to provide hands‑on nursing care throughout your assigned service area.

Available Schedules

We have several after‑hours nursing opportunities:

• Monday–Thursday: 5 PM–8 AM

• Friday–Sunday: 4 PM–8 AM

• Rotating Nights: 5 PM–8 AM, with every other weekend scheduled

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

• Home-Based On-Call: Spend time at home between patient care needs instead of reporting to a facility for your entire shift.

• Independence & Autonomy: Use your nursing experience and clinical judgment to assess patient needs and provide compassionate care.

• Meaningful Patient Connections: Help patients remain comfortable at home while providing reassurance and support to their families.

• Schedule Options: Choose from weekday, weekend, or rotating night schedules.

• Purpose-Driven Nursing: Be there when your skills, compassion, and presence can make all the difference.

What You'll Do

• Respond to after‑hours patient and family calls.

• Assess patient needs and provide nursing guidance and support.

• Make in‑home patient visits when clinical needs require hands‑on care.

• Collaborate with the hospice care team to ensure continuity of care.

• Provide comfort, symptom management, and compassionate support to patients and families.

What We're Looking For

• Current RN license.

• Strong clinical assessment, communication, and critical‑thinking skills.

• Ability to work independently and respond to changing patient needs.

• Hospice, home health, or related nursing experience preferred.

• Ability to remain within the assigned service area during scheduled on‑call hours and travel to patients' homes when needed.

Nursing That Makes a Difference—Even After Dark.

Sometimes the greatest comfort a family can receive is knowing a compassionate, experienced nurse is just a phone call away.

At Mountain Valley Hospice & Palliative Care, you'll be that nurse.

Every Patient. Every Family. Every Time.
