Job description

What You’ll Do

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.

This is important work that comes with equal responsibility. 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 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.

Where You’ll Work

Each day is different. 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.

You will keep patient welfare at the center of everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end of their life’s journey.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Equivalent experience or licensure may be considered.

Special Instructions to Candidate

• EOE/AA M/F/D/V

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance
• Pre-tax healthcare and dependent care flexible spending accounts
• Life insurance
• 401(k) plan with numerous investment options and generous company match
• Cancer and/or critical illness benefit
• Tuition reimbursement
• Paid time off
• Employee assistance program
• Legal insurance
• Roadside assistance
• Affinity program

Many of our positions offer the opportunity to work day or night shifts, weekdays or weekends.
