WHO WE ARE
We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.
Our hospice organization kickstarts careers in caring, promotes from within, and provides a nationally recognized best-in-class employee experience. Supported by industry-leading experts and a growing network of programs in 15+ states, VITAS empowers team members to grow toward their goals while transforming patients’ lives.
Our priority is to care: For our patients, for each other, and for the future.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As an LPN with the VITAS Intensive Comfort Care® (ICC) service, you will step in to provide one-to-one crisis care for hospice patients whose health challenges require high-intensity, highly engaged clinical supervision for a short period of time.
Your compassionate, responsive care will elevate your patients’ quality of life and take caregiving pressures off their loved ones’ shoulders.
WHERE YOU’LL WORK
You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients wherever they call home, whether that means a private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility. You will work in shifts of eight to 12 hours, helping patients remain in a comfortable, familiar setting while receiving palliative treatment.
Every day is different, and every minute counts.
Once a week, you’ll visit the local program office to meet with an interdisciplinary team, including social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses, who collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.
WHAT’S EXPECTED FROM YOU
A VITAS nurse is the end-of-life caregiver everyone deserves. In addition to having your nursing license, at least one year of hospital nursing experience, and reliable transportation, you'll approach your work with the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and a Can-do Attitude.
You will keep patient welfare at the center of everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end of their life’s journey.
