WHO WE ARE

WHAT YOU LL DO
As a home care RN, you will do the critically important job of ensuring hospice patients are comfortable, while forging compassionate, meaningful connections. This is important work that comes with huge responsibility. Patients and families trust VITAS RNs to guide them through one of life s most difficult experiences, and honoring that trust will be your 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.
