This Role Is Built for Nurses Who Thrive on the Road

We need a hospice RN who goes where the need is. No two weeks the same, no site left unsupported. This is a travel-first role: you'll move between locations covering whatever a team needs most that week.

Provide direct patient care: admissions, visits, complex symptom management, case management

Educate, mentor, and onboard clinicians and new leaders on-site

Step into clinical leadership/DCS duties temporarily to keep a site compliant and stable

Participate in IDG meetings, audits, and quality initiatives wherever you're deployed

What You Bring

2–3+ years of hospice experience

Hospice heart and strong clinical judgment

Current RN licensure (multi-state preferred)

Comfort with travel up to 90% of the time

Valid driver's license and insured transportation

Why This Role

Variety and autonomy other hospice roles can't offer

Competitive salary + mileage reimbursement
