A Registered Nurse (RN) – Hospice provides specialized care to terminally ill patients and their families, focusing on comfort, pain management, and quality of life rather than curative treatment. Hospice nurses work as part of an interdisciplinary team, providing compassionate end-of-life care in the patient’s home, hospice facility, or nursing home. The RN assesses patient needs, manages symptoms, educates families, and provides emotional support to both patients and their families through the dying process.

  • Develop individualized care plans that address the patient’s goals, preferences, and care needs, in collaboration with the patient, family, and the interdisciplinary care team.
  • Regularly reassess the patient’s condition and adjust the care plan to ensure comfort and quality of life as the patient’s condition changes.
  • Identify and monitor symptoms such as pain, nausea, shortness of breath, or anxiety and intervene appropriately.
  • Symptom and Pain Management :

  • Administer prescribed medications, including pain management drugs, sedatives, and other comfort measures, as needed to manage symptoms.
  • Monitor and assess the effectiveness of pain management and other interventions, adjusting as needed to ensure patient comfort.
  • Provide guidance on the use of pain medications and other treatments to the patient and family members to prevent discomfort and distress.
  • Implement comfort measures, such as positioning, massage, or music therapy, in coordination with other team members.
  • End-of-Life Care :

  • Provide compassionate care to patients in the final stages of life, supporting them through the dying process while respecting their personal and cultural wishes.
  • Offer emotional and psychological support to both the patient and their family, addressing fears, anxiety, and grief.
  • Assist in the coordination of spiritual care services, as appropriate, based on the patient’s and family’s needs.
  • Ensure the patient’s dignity is maintained, helping manage advanced care decisions such as advance directives and do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders.
  • Offer support and guidance regarding end-of-life choices, including hospice services, funeral arrangements, and legacy-making activities.
  • Family Support and Education :

  • Provide education to the family and caregivers about the patient’s condition, expected progression, and what to expect during the end-of-life process.
  • Teach caregivers how to manage the patient’s medications, symptom control techniques, and comfort measures.
  • Offer emotional support to family members, addressing feelings of grief, fear, and uncertainty throughout the hospice care process.
  • Provide respite care recommendations to families when needed, ensuring they receive proper support and self-care.
  • Coordination of Care :

  • Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team, including physicians, social workers, chaplains, and home health aides, to provide holistic care tailored to the patient’s needs.
  • Communicate regularly with the physician to update on patient progress and symptom management, ensuring that all aspects of care are well coordinated.
  • Arrange for any necessary home care services, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy, to maximize the patient’s comfort and quality of life.
  • Serve as a liaison between the patient, family, and other members of the healthcare team to ensure seamless care delivery.
  • Documentation and Reporting :

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation in the patient’s medical record, including assessments, care plans, symptom management, medications, and interventions.
  • Document patient and family communication, as well as changes in the patient’s condition and response to treatment.
  • Complete required paperwork, including admissions, visit notes, and discharge reports, following hospice regulations and organizational protocols.
  • Ensure compliance with legal, ethical, and organizational standards in all aspects of care and documentation.
  • Emergency Care :

  • Provide immediate care in cases of sudden changes in the patient’s condition, such as respiratory distress or severe pain, in accordance with established hospice protocols.
  • Assess emergency situations and make necessary referrals to ensure appropriate intervention (e.g., hospitalizations or palliative care team support) when indicated.
  • Guide the family and caregivers in responding to changes in the patient’s condition and provide reassurance during crises.
  • Community Involvement and Support :

  • Participate in community outreach, education, and advocacy efforts to promote the benefits of hospice care and raise awareness.
  • Collaborate with other healthcare providers and community organizations to ensure that hospice services are accessible and well understood by the general public.
  • Participate in hospice-related education and training programs to stay up-to-date with current best practices in palliative and end-of-life care.
  • Magnet Medical Job ID #30427329. Pay package is based on 8 hour shifts and 40.0 hours per week (subject to confirmation) with tax-free stipend amount to be determined. Posted job title : RN : Hospice,07 : 00 : 00-15 : 00 : 00
