Show Up When It Matters Most
In hospice care, there are moments when a patient or family needs more than their regular care team can provide in that instant. That's where you come in. As an ECT (Extended Care Team) Nurse at Transitions Hospice, you're the reinforcement — the skilled, composed clinical presence that steps in to ensure no patient need goes unmet.
This isn't a role for someone who needs a rigid routine. It's a role for an adaptable, experienced RN who thrives in varied environments, thinks on their feet, and finds deep satisfaction in knowing that when you showed up, it made all the difference.
What You'll Do
As a Transitions Hospice ECT Nurse, you'll work as a vital support member of the interdisciplinary care team — stepping in across cases to assess, treat, and communicate patient needs with speed and clinical precision. Your responsibilities include:
Delivering professional nursing care across the full nursing process within your scope of practice
Conducting thorough patient and family assessments and contributing to individualized care plans
Completing all visit types as needed to meet patient and family needs
Administering medications and treatments per physician orders
Identifying nursing diagnoses from health assessment data and responding accordingly
Recording accurate, timely clinical notes including pain and symptom management outcomes
Communicating changes in patient condition to physicians and obtaining orders as required
Coordinating with community health partners to support seamless care transitions
Ensuring equipment and necessary services are arranged and available for patients
Maintaining and growing your clinical skills through continuing education and in-service participation
