Healthcare Nursing, RN Nurse
VITAS Healthcare is the nation’s leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.
What You’ll DoAs 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 important work 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 have the autonomy to make care decisions at the bedside, ensuring no moment is wasted in bringing comfort to your patients. You will help patients and their loved ones understand and embrace the palliative—rather than curative—nature of hospice and the benefits of comfort‑focused end‑of‑life care.
Most VITAS nurses make 4‑6 visits each day. 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. 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.
