Community-based Hospice RN Case Manager Wilson and Nash Counties

Community-based Hospice RN Case Manager, Full-time (Wilson and Nash Counties)

Job Category
: Community-based Hospice Nurse

Full-Time | Monday-Friday | 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This position is primarily conducted in the field, providing care to patients wherever they call home, including private residences, assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and other care settings throughout our service area.

Unlike a traditional hospital or clinic-based nursing position, this role requires daily travel between patient locations, independent clinical decision-making, and the ability to build meaningful relationships with patients and families in their own environments.

If you thrive working independently, enjoy being on the move throughout the day, and value one-on-one patient care, this role offers the opportunity to practice nursing in its most personal and impactful setting.

Exceptional hospice care starts with exceptional nurses.
