Job description
Optimal Care is a clinician-owned and operated organization empowering team members to provide personalized, compassionate care to patients and families every day. We have earned the Great Places to Work certification for six consecutive years and are committed to supporting professional growth and delivering high-quality care.
About the Role
Provide compassionate, skilled hospice care while enjoying a truly predictable schedule that supports your life outside of work. As a Hospice After Hours Registered Nurse, you will deliver skilled nursing care and emotional support to patients and families during overnight hours, responding to urgent needs and ensuring comfort, dignity, and peace at the end of life.
This role is ideal for an experienced RN who thrives in autonomous practice and is confident making critical clinical decisions in real time. You will work a consistent 7-on / 7-off night rotation (5 pm–8 am), giving you half the year off while earning a full‑time salary with no additional on‑call requirements. All shifts begin and end from home, allowing you to fully disconnect during your time off.
During your working nights, you will assess and manage urgent symptoms, provide skilled nursing interventions, and support families through crisis moments with clinical expertise and compassion. Working independently while coordinating closely with physicians and the hospice team, you will ensure continuity of care throughout the night and serve as a steady, reassuring presence during some of life's most vulnerable hours.
