Hospice Admissions Nurse

Hospice Admissions Nurse (RN)

West Michigan Hospice is a great place to work. We have very low turn-over and work as a tight-knit team providing end-of-life care to patients in their homes throughout the Kent County area.

We’re looking for energetic, positive people who have a heart for patients—and who thrive in meaningful, fast-paced, high-impact work.

You won’t be just a number—you’ll work directly with the owner of the organization, our Director of Clinical Services, and a highly supportive team. Most of our employees have been with us for years. We offer great pay, strong support, and a culture that actually lives out teamwork.

We’re not just filling a role—we’re looking for the right person:

HUMBLE | AMBITIOUS | SMART (people-smart) | OPTIMISTIC

Sound like you? You’ll fit right in.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

This role is the front door of hospice care—you set the tone for everything that follows.

• Conduct hospice admissions in patient homes, ALF facilities, and SNF.
• Perform comprehensive initial nursing assessments
• Develop and initiate the Plan of Care in collaboration with the Nurse Practitioner and physician, and IDT.
• Provide clear, compassionate education to patients and families about hospice services, expectations, and goals of care
• Coordinate and initiate all services needed for admission, including:
• Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
• Medications (including comfort meds)
• Supplies
• Ensure a smooth and timely admission to services
• Communicate effectively with referral sources, families, and the interdisciplinary team
• Identify immediate needs and proactively problem-solve to ensure patient comfort and safety from day one
• Complete all required documentation accurately and efficiently
• Maintain compliance with hospice policies, procedures, and HIPAA regulations
• Collaborate closely with case managers and the interdisciplinary group to ensure continuity of care
• Participate in on-call/admissions coverage rotation as needed
• Maintain clinical knowledge and skills

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

• You own the first impression—this is one of the most meaningful interactions families will have
• You move quickly but thoughtfully—balancing efficiency with compassion
• You are highly autonomous, but never alone—strong team support behind you
• You help eliminate delays and confusion for families during one of the hardest moments of their lives
