About The Position

The Night Shift Triage Registered Nurse provides hospice nursing services across multiple areas, including the Inpatient Unit (IPU), Care 24 field, Care24 Triage, and Continuous Home Care (CHC).

The RN collaborates with the interdisciplinary hospice team to plan and direct services that meet the needs of patients and families. All hospice RNs cross-train to other departments as organizational needs require.
