Hospice Registered Nurse; RN; Mid-Michigan Talent Pool

Saginaw, MI

Optimal Care is growing, and we’re looking to connect with talented individuals who may be a great fit for our organization. We invite you to submit your resume so we can learn more about your experience and the type of role you’re looking for. Whether the time is now or in the future, we will keep you in mind for opportunities that align with your skills and background.

About the Role

Provide compassionate, skilled hospice care while enjoying a truly predictable schedule that supports your life outside of work. As a Hospice After Hours Registered Nurse, you’ll deliver skilled nursing care and emotional support to patients and families during the overnight hours, responding to urgent needs in the moments they need it most while helping ensure comfort, dignity, and peace at end of life.

This role is ideal for an experienced RN who thrives in autonomous practice and is confident making critical clinical decisions in real time. You’ll work a consistent 7-on / 7-off night rotation (5pm–8am), giving you half the year off while still earning a full-time salary. With no additional on-call requirements and all shifts beginning and ending from home, you’ll have a highly structured schedule that allows you to fully disconnect during your time off and plan your life with confidence.

During your working nights, you’ll assess and manage urgent symptoms, provide skilled nursing interventions, and support families through crisis moments with clinical expertise and compassion. Working independently while coordinating closely with physicians and the hospice team, you’ll ensure continuity of care throughout the night and serve as a steady, reassuring presence during some of life's most vulnerable hours.
