Job Details

Job Location: Dover Hospice (Homestead) - New Philadelphia, OH 44663, Education Level: 2 Year Degree, Job Category: Nurse, On-Call Registered Nurse (RN) – Weekdays

Weekday evenings. Work from home between visits. Make a meaningful impact.

Looking for an RN opportunity that offers flexibility, independence, and a schedule that keeps your weekends free?

The Care Team Hospice is seeking a compassionate and experienced On-Call Registered Nurse (RN) to provide after-hours support to hospice patients and families.

This is a great opportunity for an RN who enjoys working independently, making clinical decisions, and providing personalized, one-on-one patient care without managing a traditional daytime caseload.

When you're not actively responding to patient needs or completing visits, you can remain at home while available for on-call responsibilities. You'll have the autonomy to manage patient needs while being supported by an experienced interdisciplinary team.

We're looking for a dependable, clinically confident RN who can respond to changing patient conditions, provide symptom management, and offer reassurance to patients and families when they need it most.

Schedule & Hours

Monday–Thursday | 4:30 PM – 8:00 AM the following morning

• Four overnight on-call shifts per week
• Coverage concludes Friday at 8:00 AM
• No Friday evening, Saturday, or Sunday on-call coverage
• Combination of scheduled patient visits and on-call responsibilities
• Work from home when not actively responding to patient needs in the field

• Collaborate with physicians, pharmacies, caregivers, and interdisciplinary team members to ensure continuity of care.
• Complete accurate and timely clinical documentation within the electronic medical record (EMR).

Qualifications

• Active and unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of practice required.
• Minimum of one year of nursing experience required; hospice, home health, oncology, palliative care, or critical care experience preferred.
