We are the Midwest's premier provider of Physician Services, Home Health, and Hospice Care. Our integrated care delivery model incorporates technology, innovation and best practices. We produce value based outcomes by managing chronic disease process, rehabilitation and end of life care.

We live a simple Mission: Serve Together, Provide Value, and Deliver Exceptional Quality Care. 

What does this mean for you? At Optimal Care, you have our resolute commitment to being an exceptional place to work. Your expertise, passion and commitment to exceptional quality care will continue to thrive. With you we can build a remarkable place to work. 

Exceptional Benefits:

  • Minimum of 3 Weeks Paid Time Off (PTO)

Why Join Us as an After-Hours Registered Nurse? 

  • No extra on-call surprises: Your schedule is set, so you can confidently plan your personal life without unexpected obligations.

  • Optimized territories: Our territories are designed to minimize drive times while still meeting the urgent needs of our patients, making your work more efficient and focused.

 

What You'll Do:

  • Deliver urgent patient care after hours, including admissions, symptom management, and other pressing needs. Think of this role as the "emergency room" for hospice patients in your neighborhood.
  • Be a reassuring presence for patients, families, and our care team, providing clear, compassionate communication with physicians, nurse practitioners, and hospice case managers.

 

What You Won't Do:

  • You won't be responsible for triaging patients on your own—our triage team handles that, and dispatches visits only when an in-person RN is required.
  • You won't manage an assigned caseload or ongoing patient care. Your focus is providing immediate, high-impact support when it matters most.

 

Required Qualifications 

  • Graduate of an accredited Diploma, Associate, Baccalaureate, or Masters Degree in Nursing. 
  • Current State License as a Registered Nurse 
  • Ability to assess and respond to the needs of patients, families, and caregivers in varied settings and to function effectively in the home or nursing facility environment 
  • Skill in nursing practice, ability to cope with ill, disabled, terminal patients, family emotional stress, and tolerance of individual lifestyles 
  • Ability to critical think and prioritize the needs of multiple patients. 
  • Reliable transportation and valid automobile insurance coverage 
  • Ability to sit, stand, bend, lift, and move intermittently 
  • Ability to lift at least 35 lbs. and bear the weight of an average adult effectively
