Why Hospice? Why VITAS?
Have you ever considered hospice as a clinical specialty—one that blends medical expertise with deep human connection?
Just like cardiology or pediatrics, hospice is a specialty rooted in skill, compassion, and purpose. At VITAS, we’re redefining what’s possible in end-of-life care—one patient, one family at a time.
Rediscover the Heart of Nursing
You became a nurse to make a meaningful difference—to care, to educate, and to advocate during life’s most vulnerable moments. If the hospital’s fast-paced environment has left you feeling burned out or disconnected from your purpose, VITAS offers a path back to what matters most.
As a VITAS Hospice Admissions Nurse, you’ll be the compassionate bridge between hospital or community care and the comfort of hospice. You’ll guide patients and families through one of life’s most important transitions with clarity, empathy, and confidence.
This isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.
