Hospice? Why VITAS? Have you ever considered hospice as a clinical
specialty—one that blends clinical 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. What You’ll Do
Conduct comprehensive clinical assessments to determine hospice
eligibility Educate patients and families about hospice services
and Medicare benefits Collaborate with physicians, case managers,
and interdisciplinary teams Provide emotional support and clinical
guidance during the decision-making process Initiate and complete
the admission process, including documentation and coordination

addressing concerns with empathy Reliable professional with strong
follow-through and autonomy Patient-centered advocate committed to

connected to the heart of nursing by helping patients and families
