About Enlight Hospice of VA

Enlight Hospice of VA is a Medicare-certified hospice in Richmond, Virginia. We give compassionate, team-based end-of-life care to patients and their families wherever they call home, including private homes, assisted living and nursing facilities. Our team focuses on comfort, dignity and quality of life, and treats the patient and family together as the unit of care. Office: 2809 Emerywood Pkwy Ste 260, Richmond, VA 23294.

• POSITION
• RN Case Manager - PRN (as-needed, per diem)
• Reports to: Director of Clinical Services

Pay

$40 - $46 per hour, based on experience, plus mileage reimbursement at the IRS rate.

Schedule

This is a PRN (per diem) position. PRN means "as needed": you are not given a set number of hours each week. Instead, you pick up visits and shifts when our patient census or staffing calls for it, such as covering for a nurse who is out, helping with admissions, or filling on-call needs.

It's a good fit for nurses who want flexible, part-time hospice work, extra income alongside another job, or a way into hospice nursing. PRN staff may be asked to help with on-call and holiday coverage based on agency need. Patient visits are in the Richmond area, so you will travel to patient homes and facilities.
