In addition to having strong clinical skills, Hospice Nurses are “teachers” – helping patients identify their own personal goals of care and helping caregivers have confidence in caring for their family member. They are generalists on all diseases and specialists in symptom management, requiring excellence in assessment and critical thinking. Primary RN’s have an assigned caseload of patients and lead the interdisciplinary team caring for those patients. We provide care wherever our patients call home - private homes, nursing homes, group homes or assisted living facilities.
Hospice nurses thrive at HopeWest, an environment which fosters personalized care.
The Primary Registered Nurse has a weekday schedule of Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, with occasional back-up for weekends and on-call.
