Join VitalCaring – Bring Exceptional Care Wherever It’s Needed

Are you an experienced RN who thrives on variety, independence, and the opportunity to make an immediate impact?

VitalCaring is building a team of Travel Hospice Registered Nurses who will bring their clinical expertise to Hospice teams across our organization. In this role, you’ll step into markets where your experience matters most - supporting patients, strengthening local teams, and helping ensure continuity of exceptional care.

This isn't traditional bedside travel nursing. You'll provide care where patients call home, while experiencing different communities, teams, and markets along the way.

What You’ll Do

As a Hospice Travel RN, you’ll deploy to VitalCaring hospice branches based on staffing and operational needs, including periods of growth, vacancies, acquisitions, onboarding, and critical staffing needs.

You’ll:

• Provide skilled nursing care to Hospice patients.
• Complete comprehensive assessments and develop individualized plans of care.
• Manage patient caseloads and coordinate care with physicians and interdisciplinary teams.
• Provide education and support to patients, families, and caregivers.
• Support recovery and independence for Home Health patients and comfort-focused, end-of-life care for Hospice patients.
• Quickly integrate into new teams, workflows, and patient populations.
• Help stabilize branch operations and promote consistent clinical practices and patient experiences across markets.
• Complete timely, accurate clinical documentation and maintain regulatory and quality standards.
• Participate in on-call responsibilities as assigned.

What We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for an experienced clinician who is adaptable, confident, independent, and ready to go where they're needed most.

Required Qualifications:

• Graduate of an accredited school of nursing.
• Current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license.
• Active Compact RN License (NLC), or willingness and ability to obtain Compact Licensure within the established timeframe.
• Current BLS/CPR certification.
• Minimum of 3 years of progressive Hospice nursing experience.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
• Ability and willingness to travel extensively based on business need - anticipated 75+% travel, depending on assignment.
• Previous travel nursing experience preferred.
• Experience supporting multiple branches, markets, acquisitions, or startup environments preferred.
• BSN and/or CHPN certification preferred.

What to Expect

Assignments will vary based on organizational need and may include local, regional, and interstate travel. Overnight travel will frequently be required, and some assignments may include weekends or on-call support.

You may rotate between Home Health and Hospice assignments based on business needs and your clinical competencies.

Ready for Nursing That Takes You Further?

If you're energized by new environments, confident in your clinical skills, and looking for a role that combines travel, autonomy, purpose, and meaningful patient care, we'd love to meet you.

Bring your experience. Go where you're needed. Make an impact wherever you land.
