Hi Danvers based Hospice of the North Shore is the largest not-for-profit hospice in Massachusetts. With hospice care, palliative care, the Kaplan Family Hospice House and the Center for Grief and Healing, we provide a continuum of services that are unmatched in Massachusetts for the last 30 years! Hospice of the North Shore is a desirable place to work; with extremely low employee turnover, incredible job stability and an employee focused philosophy that makes us one of the most highly rated hospices in Massachusetts.
Frquently heard by our recruiter when nurses call about our jobs: "I became a nurse to care for patients, but I feel like I don't take care of patients anymore. I miss the hands on experience". If this is you, perhaps hospice is the calling you are now ready for. Hospice nurses not only provide medical care for the patients, they also coordinate the support and many times, provide the shoulder for family members to cry on when their loved ones pass. Hospice nursing is not sad, it's an EMPOWERING PROFESSION! We make a postive difference in the lives of patients and family members every day. It's not uncommon for our staff to be recognized and get hugs from the families of patients years after their loved ones have died.
If you:
Love patient care
Know your meds
Are not shy about taking charge in chaotic situations
Love to laugh
And drink deeply from the cup of life
Then you are ready to become a hospice nurse!
We have immediate needs for RN Case Managers to provide end of life care to our patients. Some of our patients are being cared for in their homes, others are being cared for in LTC and ALF facilities and we also have the priviledge of caring for hospice patients in our hospice house, the Kaplan Family Hospice House.
