Empowering NPs to Do What They Do Best

Hospice care doesn’t pause — and neither do the patients and families who depend on it. At Transitions Hospice, our Advanced Nurse Practitioners are far more than clinicians. You’re the trusted expert with a steady, knowledgeable presence that patients and families turn to when they need answers and reassurance most.

If you’re an NP who wants full clinical autonomy, meaningful interdisciplinary collaboration, and the deep satisfaction of working at the top of your license in service of something that truly matters — we built this role for you.

What You'll Do

As a Transitions Hospice Advanced NP, you’ll serve as a clinical leader within our interdisciplinary care team — directing patient care, managing the Plan of Care, and ensuring every patient receives expert, compassionate medical oversight. Your responsibilities include:

Providing direction and oversight for the Plan of Care, implementing and updating it to meet each patient’s evolving medical needs

  • Completing and documenting all required Hospice Face-to-Face encounters
  • Conducting routine visits focused on symptom management, primary care, and quality of life
  • Reviewing and interpreting diagnostic results in a timely manner

Collaborating with attending physicians, specialists, home health, facilities, and clinical coordinators for seamless care coordination

Serving as emergency responder for on-call visits as needed to support case managers and extended care team members

  • Maintaining thorough and accurate clinical documentation in the company EHR
  • Providing direct medical care in patients’ homes, nursing facilities, and hospital settings
  • Acting as a liaison between the hospice program, community physicians, and healthcare partners to strengthen relationships and expand patient access
  • Ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws, Medicare regulations, and HIPAA
  • Benefits We Offer

  • Long & Short-Term Disability
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Auto Allowance & Gas Card

Why Choose Transitions Hospice?

Advanced NPs at Transitions aren’t support staff — you’re clinical leaders. You’ll have the full backing of a mission-driven interdisciplinary team, the autonomy to practice at the full scope of your training, and the deep fulfillment that comes from guiding patients and families through one of life’s most profound moments. We invest in our clinicians because we know that when our providers thrive, our patients do too.
