Job Description

About Company:

Blue Summit Hospice and Palliative Care was founded based on the knowledge that great clinical care can only be achieved by a great clinical staff. Our company was started by clinicians with hands-on experience working in end-of-life care. And our goal is not only to provide the best possible care but also to be the best possible place to work.

We place as much focus on staff training and retention as we do on our patient care. And that's how it should be! End-of-life care requires a sincere commitment to meeting the unique needs of the patients and families we serve. Blue Summit has that same level of commitment to our staff.

If you are a clinical end-of-life professional or simply want more information about our services, reach out to us, and we'll be happy to explain the Blue Summit difference.

About the Role:

The LPN will collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to ensure continuity of care, symptom management, and adherence to individualized care plans. By conducting thorough assessments and timely interventions, the LPN helps to enhance patient comfort and quality of life during end-of-life care. This role requires a dedicated professional who can work independently while maintaining clear communication with healthcare providers and family members to support patient-centered care goals.

  • Current and valid Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license in the state of practice within the United States.
  • Minimum of one year of clinical nursing experience, preferably in hospice, palliative care, or a related healthcare setting.

  • Proficiency in electronic health records (EHR) documentation and basic computer skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience specifically in hospice or palliative care nursing.
  • Certification in Hospice and Palliative Nursing (CHPN) or similar specialty certification.
  • Training in pain and symptom management techniques relevant to end-of-life care.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills for effective patient and family engagement.
  • Familiarity with community resources and support services for terminally ill patients.

Responsibilities:

  • Conduct comprehensive nursing assessments of hospice patients during weekend visits to monitor health status and identify changes in condition.
  • Administer medications and treatments as prescribed, ensuring adherence to hospice care protocols and patient safety standards.
  • Provide education and emotional support to patients and their families regarding symptom management, disease progression, and available resources.
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary hospice teams, including physicians, social workers, and chaplains, to update care plans and coordinate services.
  • Document all nursing interventions, patient responses, and communications accurately and timely in compliance with regulatory and organizational requirements.

Skills:

The required skills enable the LPN to perform thorough patient assessments, administer medications safely, and document care accurately, which are essential for maintaining high-quality hospice services. Effective communication skills are used daily to educate and support patients and families, ensuring they understand care plans and feel emotionally supported. Time management and organizational skills allow the LPN to prioritize tasks efficiently during weekend shifts when resources may be limited. Preferred skills such as specialized hospice knowledge and certification enhance the nurse’s ability to manage complex symptoms and provide tailored care. Additionally, proficiency with electronic health records facilitates seamless information sharing and coordination with the broader healthcare team.
