Hospice RN Case Manager
About The Position
A full-time, field-based Hospice RN Case Manager position supporting patients across the Corpus Christi and Kingsville area. The role follows a 7-days-on/7-days-off schedule.

The position involves visits in patient homes, nursing facilities, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and other care settings. Routine visits cover Corpus Christi and Kingsville; on-call coverage is limited to Corpus Christi. Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license are required. The annual base salary is $80,000–$83,000, plus benefits. Hospice experience is preferred but not required; nurses with transferable clinical backgrounds are welcome.
