Rutland, VT
Contracted
VNA Hospice of the Southwest Region
Mid Level
Begin a purpose‑driven journey as a Hospice Registered Nurse in Vermont’s Rutland region, where every patient and family you serve benefits from your expertise, empathy, and unwavering presence. In this role, you’ll partner with interdisciplinary teams to manage symptoms, alleviate pain, and support meaningful end‑of‑life goals with dignity and compassion. Your clinical skills will be complemented by clear communication with families and caregivers, ensuring care plans align with patients’ values. The assignment begins on 01/26/2026, with a guaranteed 37 hours per week, providing stability as you deliver high‑quality hospice care. Through this opportunity, you’ll join a community that values both clinical excellence and the human connection at the heart of palliative care. Vermont beckons with scenic beauty and a slow‑paced charm that enhances focus and reflection between shifts—from the Green Mountains’ quiet trails to charming villages and historic byways, including cobbled streets, covered bridges, and maple‑scented evenings that make this state a unique place to practice compassionate nursing.
Rutland offers a compact city feel with easy access to outdoor recreation and a supportive local network. You’ll enjoy the rewards of working in a setting that balances professional rigor with the warmth of a tight‑knit community. In addition to Rutland’s own charms, this role can present opportunities to work in various locations across Vermont and across the United States, broadening your exposure to different patient populations and care environments. Expect alpine vistas in winter, vibrant fall foliage, and tranquil rural landscapes in between visits, all while maintaining the professional rhythm you need to sustain exemplary hospice care. The prospect of discovering new communities while delivering comfort and expertise can enrich your practice and renew your sense of purpose on every assignment.
On the clinical front, you’ll conduct comprehensive assessments, manage complex symptoms like pain, dyspnea, agitation, and insomnia, administer medications safely, and coordinate with physicians, social workers, and spiritual care teams to craft patient‑centered care plans. You’ll provide wound and skin care as needed, support families with education, respite planning, and bereavement resources, and ensure smooth transitions of care across settings. This role offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth within hospice, including mentorship, continuing education support, and pathways to credentialing or specialty certification. The position also includes competitive benefits, including a signing or completion bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities, ensuring you have ongoing support as you expand your practice. You’ll be backed by 24/7 support from a dedicated company team as you travel between assignments, with onboarding and ongoing resources to help you thrive in dynamic environments. Compensation includes a weekly pay range of $2,475 to $2,592, with guaranteed 37 hours per week and the potential for contract extensions based on performance and client needs.
Commitment to people is at the heart of our partner company’s values. The organization is dedicated to empowering nursing staff, prioritizing their well‑being, advancement, and satisfaction. Expect a culture that respects expertise and fosters collaboration, with leadership that listens, values feedback, and commits to a supportive, growth‑oriented workplace. Whether you’re building your hospice career or advancing toward certification, you’ll find clear opportunities to expand your responsibilities, influence care standards, and make a lasting difference in patients’ and families’ lives. In Rutland and beyond, you’ll experience a supportive environment designed to help you balance demanding clinical days with personal well‑being, continuing education, and meaningful professional relationships that endure.
