Allegiant Hospice is seeking a compassionate, dependable, and patient-centered Registered Nurse to join our hospice team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an RN looking for flexible hours while providing meaningful, one-on-one care to patients and families during one of the most important times in their lives.

Hospice experience is not required. We welcome experienced hospice nurses as well as nurses who are new to hospice and have the heart, clinical judgment, and desire to learn.

Allegiant Hospice provides education, orientation, and ongoing support to help the right nurse become comfortable and successful in hospice and end-of-life care.

• Symptom management and comfort visits
• Change-in-condition assessments
• Urgent nursing visits
• Death/pronouncement visits
• Other skilled nursing visits based on patient needs

We are looking for an RN with strong clinical judgment, excellent communication skills, compassion, reliability, and a willingness to learn.

This is a field-based hospice nursing position serving patients where they call home, including private residences and residential care communities.

Visits are coordinated based on patient needs, nurse availability, and geographic location. We work to coordinate visits efficiently and minimize unnecessary travel whenever possible.

Our patients live throughout the greater Southeast Wisconsin area, including Milwaukee County and surrounding communities.

• Flexible PRN scheduling
• Competitive compensation
• Hourly pay for scheduled on-call coverage
• Additional pay for visits completed while on call
• Supportive leadership
• Hospice education and training
