Job Description:
Job Description WHO WE ARE 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: $38 - $43/ Hour WHAT YOU’LL DO 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 palliative—rather than curative—nature
of hospice and the benefits of comfort-focused end-of-life care.
WHERE YOU’LL WORK 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. WHAT’S
EXPECTED FROM YOU 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
