Job Description

Registered Nurse

We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation's leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.

Our hospice organization kickstarts careers in caring, promotes from within, and provides a nationally recognized best-in-class employee experience. Supported by industry-leading experts and a growing network of programs in 15+ states, VITAS empowers team members to grow toward their goals while transforming patients' lives.

Our priority is to care: For our patients, for each other, and for the future.

Salary Range: $35 -$36 / Hour

Schedule: Saturday & Sunday 10hr shifts

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 be a respected member of our team, both as a caregiver and as a hospice educator. You will be entrusted with the autonomy to make care decisions at the bedside, ensuring not a moment is wasted in bringing comfort to your patients.

You will help patients and their loved ones understand and embrace the palliativerather than curativenature of hospice and the benefits of comfort-focused end-of-life care.

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.

A VITAS nurse is the end-of-life caregiver everyone deserves. In addition to having your RN license, at least two years of nursing experience, and reliable transportation, you'll approach your work with the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and a Can-do Attitude.

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
