Overview

Hospice Runner RN - Part-time

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Registered Nurse to join our dedicated hospice team as a Hospice Runner RN. In this vital role, you will help ensure that the needs of our patients are met promptly and with the highest standard of care during weekend hours.

You'll provide hands-on nursing care, including assessments and symptom management, in alignment with each patient's individualized hospice plan of care. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across a variety of settings-whether in private homes, skilled nursing facilities, or hospitals.

As a Hospice Runner RN, you will work closely with the interdisciplinary team to ensure coordinated care and smooth transitions as patient needs change. You'll play a key role in supporting patients and families during one of life's most important journeys.

Why This Role Stands Out :

Flexible scheduling to support your work-life balance

Weekend-only options-perfect for those seeking consistent part-time hours

Opportunities to work every weekend or every other weekend

A deeply rewarding role that allows you to make a difference in end-of-life care

Every Other Saturday and Sunday | 8 : 00 AM - 4 : 30 PM
