WHAT YOU LL DO
Description: The On Call RN position is responsible for working together to meet the physical, medical, psychosocial, emotional and spiritual needs of hospice patients and families facing terminal illness and bereavement. The 24/7 Telephone Triage Nurses filter and triage all call. The Field Triage RN nurse will only see new admissions, death visits or anything that cannot be handle via telephone. They will receive their schedule and will be required to go to any of our locations to provide care for their patient. Responsibilities may include completing a RN admission, visiting a patient at an ALF, nursing home facility, home, hospital, or medical facility. The RN Runner nurse will work directly with the patient. The total amount of visits may vary per day. This position requires a medical license.
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 for our home care RNs. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients in their home, ALF, nursing home facility, hospital or medical facility, adjusting your schedule based on their needs. The total amount of visits may vary per day but on average it is 4 to 6.
About once a week you'll come to the office to meet with the rest of your interdisciplinary team: the social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses who work together to provide whole-person support for the patients and families we serve.
