Job description

About Company :

Blue Summit Hospice and Palliative Care was founded based on the knowledge that great clinical care can only be achieved by a great clinical staff. Our company was started by clinicians with hands-on experience working in end-of-life care. And our goal is not only to provide the best possible care but also to be the best possible place to work.

We place as much focus on staff training and retention as we do on our patient care. And that's how it should be! End-of-life care requires a sincere commitment to meeting the unique needs of the patients and families we serve. Blue Summit has that same level of commitment to our staff.

If you are a clinical end-of-life professional or simply want more information about our services, reach out to us, and we'll be happy to explain the Blue Summit difference.

About the Role :

The Hospice Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN / LVN) in Roswell, plays a critical role in delivering compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. This position focuses on providing skilled nursing care in a hospice setting, ensuring comfort, dignity, and quality of life for patients and their families. The LPN / LVN will collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to assess patient needs, administer medications, and monitor symptoms while supporting emotional and psychosocial aspects of end-of-life care. Flexibility in scheduling as a PRN (pro re nata) nurse allows for coverage during peak times or staff absences, ensuring continuous, high-quality care. Ultimately, this role contributes significantly to the hospice mission by promoting comfort and holistic support during a vulnerable time for patients and their loved ones.

Minimum Qualifications :

  • Current and valid Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) license in the state of Georgia.
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) certification from an accredited organization.
  • Previous experience in hospice, palliative care, or a related nursing field is preferred but not mandatory.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team in a home or facility-based hospice setting.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills to effectively interact with patients, families, and healthcare team members.

Preferred Qualifications :

  • Certification in Hospice and Palliative Nursing (CHPN) or willingness to obtain within a specified timeframe.
  • Experience with electronic medical records (EMR) systems and documentation.
  • Additional certifications such as IV therapy or wound care specialty.
  • Demonstrated cultural competence and sensitivity in providing end-of-life care.
  • Flexibility to work varied shifts and respond to on-call needs as a PRN nurse.
  • Responsibilities :

  • Provide direct nursing care to hospice patients, including medication administration, wound care, and symptom management according to established care plans.
  • Conduct thorough patient assessments to monitor physical and emotional status, reporting changes promptly to the interdisciplinary team.
  • Collaborate with physicians, social workers, chaplains, and other healthcare professionals to develop and update individualized care plans.
  • Educate patients and families on disease progression, medication usage, and comfort measures to support informed decision-making.
  • Document all nursing interventions, patient responses, and communications accurately and timely in compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Respond promptly to patient and family needs, providing emotional support and guidance throughout the hospice experience.
  • Maintain compliance with infection control protocols and safety standards to ensure a safe care environment.
  • Skills :

    The required skills enable the LPN / LVN to deliver safe and effective nursing care by accurately assessing patient conditions and administering treatments in alignment with hospice protocols. Strong communication skills are essential for educating patients and families, as well as collaborating with interdisciplinary team members to ensure cohesive care delivery. Proficiency in documentation and use of electronic medical records supports compliance with legal and regulatory requirements while facilitating continuity of care. Preferred skills such as hospice certification and specialized clinical competencies enhance the nurse's ability to manage complex symptoms and provide holistic support. Flexibility and adaptability are critical in this role to meet fluctuating patient needs and maintain high standards of care in diverse settings.
