Hospice Director jobs in Syracuse, NY

Hospice of CNY is a growing agency in need of Registered Nurses to provide care to terminally ill patients in the final stages of their lives. The RN provides for all of their patient’s medical needs while helping to maintain the highest quality of life and comfort. Hospice RNs work with patients in a variety of settings, including in the patient’s home, in residential settings, such as skilled nursing facilities, enhanced care assisted living programs, and in group homes. Hospice RNs are compassionate, caring people who help guide the patients and families through the end-of-life transition.

Our RNs primarily work Monday-Friday from 8-4:30 or 8:30-5:00 and rotate coverage for weekends – typically one time every 6-7 weeks. If you are seeking to improve your work-life balance, with minimal after hour or weekend coverage, becoming a Hospice RN will meet that need!
