Hospice After Hours Registered Nurse

Why Join Us as an After-Hours Registered Nurse?

• Work-life balance: Start and finish your shift at home, working on-call for 7 consecutive nights (5 PM – 8 AM, Monday–Sunday), then enjoy the next 7 days completely off. That's just 26 weeks of work per year—with a full-time salary—giving you half the year off while maintaining full-time pay.
• No extra on-call surprises: Your schedule is set, so you can confidently plan your personal life without unexpected obligations.
• Optimized territories: Our territories are designed to minimize drive times while still meeting the urgent needs of our patients, making your work more efficient and focused.

What You'll Do:

• Deliver urgent patient care after hours, including admissions, symptom management, and other pressing needs. Think of this role as the "emergency room" for hospice patients in your neighborhood.
• Be a reassuring presence for patients, families, and our care team, providing clear, compassionate communication with physicians, nurse practitioners, and hospice case managers.

What You Won't Do:

• You won't be responsible for triaging patients on your own—our triage team handles that and dispatches visits only when an in-person RN is required.
• You won't manage an assigned caseload or ongoing patient care. Your focus is providing immediate, high-impact support when it matters most.

Required Qualifications

• Graduate of an accredited Diploma, Associate, Baccalaureate, or Masters Degree in Nursing.
• Current State License as a Registered Nurse
• Ability to assess and respond to the needs of patients, families, and caregivers in varied settings and to function effectively in the home or nursing facility environment
• Skill in nursing practice, ability to cope with ill, disabled, terminal patients, family emotional stress, and tolerance of individual lifestyles
• Ability to critical think and prioritize the needs of multiple patients.
• Reliable transportation and valid automobile insurance coverage
• Ability to sit, stand, bend, lift, and move intermittently
• Ability to lift at least 35 lbs. and bear the weight of an average adult effectively

Desired Qualifications

• Experience in Emergency Medicine, Geriatrics, hospice or home health environment preferred
• Familiarity with Home Care Home Base (HCHB) is a plus.
