To thrive as a Hospice RN Weekends, you need a valid RN license, experience in end-of-life care, and strong clinical assessment skills. Familiarity with hospice EMR systems, pain management protocols, and relevant certifications such as CHPN (Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse) are typically required.

What is a Hospice RN Weekends?

A Hospice RN Weekends is a registered nurse who specializes in providing end-of-life care to patients and their families during weekends. These nurses typically manage pain and symptoms, offer emotional support, and coordinate care plans as part of a hospice team. Working weekends, they ensure that patients receive consistent and compassionate care outside of regular weekday hours. Hospice RNs play a vital role in helping patients maintain comfort and dignity in their final days.

What are the typical challenges faced by a Hospice RN working weekends, and how can they be managed?

Hospice RNs working weekends often encounter challenges such as managing complex patient needs with limited staff or resources, handling acute symptom changes, and providing emotional support to families during critical times. Weekend shifts may also involve more on-call responsibilities and require strong prioritization skills, as access to certain services or physicians may be reduced. Effective communication, time management, and a solid understanding of hospice protocols are key to navigating these challenges and ensuring high-quality end-of-life care.

Job description

Registered Nurse – Weekend Hospice RN (After-Hours)

Location: Milwaukee North Market (Washington, Ozaukee, Dodge, Waukesha, Milwaukee Counties) Schedule: Every Saturday & Sunday, 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM Type: Contract | 24 hours/week | No Caseload

Job Summary

This role is all about stepping in when patients and families need support the most. The Weekend Hospice RN provides after-hours hospice visits, end-of-life care, PRN symptom management, and death visits throughout the Milwaukee North region. Unlike traditional case-manager roles, this position does not carry a caseload —you focus strictly on same-day needs, delivering compassion, guidance, and clinical expertise wherever it's needed.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide in-home hospice nursing care, including symptom management, comfort measures, and end-of-life support.
  • Respond to same-day PRN requests such as pain crises, increased symptoms, respiratory distress, or urgent family concerns.
  • Perform daily scheduled visits for patients nearing end of life.
  • Complete death pronouncement visits per state/facility guidelines.
  • Assess patient conditions, update care plans, and communicate changes to the interdisciplinary hospice team.
  • Provide emotional support, education, and reassurance to patients and families during critical moments.
  • Coordinate care updates with on-call leadership, hospice team members, and medical directors as needed.
  • Document all patient encounters accurately and promptly in accordance with agency standards.
  • Communicate clearly with families about the patient's condition, expected changes, and comfort-focused interventions.
  • Follow hospice regulatory standards, Facility's policies, and state nursing requirements.
  • Maintain accurate, compliant, and timely charting of all patient interactions.
  • Ensure safe care delivery during home visits, including assessing the environment for risks.
Qualifications
  • Current RN license (State of Wisconsin – or compact).
  • Minimum 1 year of hospice, palliative care, or home health experience strongly preferred.
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to travel within the Milwaukee North Market.
  • Strong assessment skills and the ability to work independently in the field.
  • Compassionate communication style with patients and families facing end-of-life situations.
Additional Details
  • If a holiday falls on a weekend, it is part of the schedule.
  • No on-call requirements beyond the 8a–8p weekend shift.
  • No floating and no case-management load—100% visit-based role.
