About The Position

Optimal Care is growing and proactively building our talent pipeline for future opportunities. While this role may not be immediately available, we invite you to submit your resume to this posting. A member of our Recruiting team will reach out to discuss opportunities with you. Optimal Care is where your dedication meets a rewarding career. As a clinician-owned and operated organization, we empower our team members to provide personalized, compassionate care to patients and families every day. For 6 consecutive years, we have earned the Great Places to Work certification, and we believe that exceptional care starts with exceptional people. We’re committed to supporting your professional growth, valuing your expertise, and creating an environment where you can do your best work every day. We are a leading provider of Physician Services, Home Health, and Hospice that encourages collaboration, innovation, and clinical excellence. From chronic disease management and rehabilitation to end-of-life care, our focus is on improving outcomes and enhancing quality of life. We live a simple Mission: Serve Together, Provide Value, and Deliver Exceptional Quality Care. Provide compassionate, skilled hospice care while enjoying a truly predictable schedule that supports your life outside of work. As a Hospice After Hours Registered Nurse, you'll deliver skilled nursing care and emotional support to patients and families during the overnight hours, responding to urgent needs in the moments they need it most while helping ensure comfort, dignity, and peace at end of life. This role is ideal for an experienced RN who thrives in autonomous practice and is confident making critical clinical decisions in real time. You'll work a consistent 7-on / 7-off night rotation (5pm–8am), giving you half the year off while still earning a full-time salary. With no additional on-call requirements and all shifts beginning and ending from home, you'll have a highly structured schedule that allows you to fully disconnect during your time off and plan your life with confidence. During your working nights, you'll assess and manage urgent symptoms, provide skilled nursing interventions, and support families through crisis moments with clinical expertise and compassion. Working independently while coordinating closely with physicians and the hospice team, you'll ensure continuity of care throughout the night and serve as a steady, reassuring presence during some of life's most vulnerable hours.
