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

Patients and families trust VITAS nurses to guide them through the

and as a hospice educator. You will be entrusted with the autonomy
to make care decisions at the bedside, ensuring not a moment is

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.
