Hospice On-Call RN
About The Position
Principle Choice Home Healthcare and Hospice was opened because we believe that every person deserves to be cared for with dignity, tenderness, and deep respect, especially during life’s most vulnerable season. Too often, people at this stage feel rushed, unheard, or treated like a diagnosis instead of a human being. We knew there had to be a better way. We started Principle Choice Home Healthcare and Hospice because we have seen how powerful it is when care is rooted in compassion. When pain is taken seriously. When comfort is a priority. When questions are welcomed, fears are spoken aloud, and no one feels like they are facing this journey alone. Position Purpose: Under the supervision of the Director of Hospice, the On-Call Hospice Nurse is responsible for the nursing care of clients outside of traditional weekday hours. The On-Call Hospice Nurse’s job responsibilities may include triage support, conducting urgent home visits, managing acute pain and other symptoms, providing emotional support, documenting care and facilitating patient pronouncements. An On-Call Hospice Nurse is a professional who manages client care according to each individual's needs and explains these clearly to the client and client’s family.
