Join a Compassion-Driven Mission from the Comfort of Your Home

When care transcends walls and connection outshines proximity, remarkable things happen. That’s the spirit behind our approach to remote hospice triage nursing. We’re redefining how end-of-life care can be delivered—compassionately, efficiently, and without borders. If you’re a registered nurse with a gentle heart, clinical expertise, and a flair for working remotely, this is your invitation to join a team that's shaping the future of hospice care.

About the Role

As a Remote Hospice Triage Nurse, you’ll be the reassuring voice on the line for patients and their families navigating some of life’s most intimate transitions. Your primary responsibility is to provide clinical guidance, symptom assessment, emotional support, and direction to hospice patients through phone and virtual communication channels.

This isn’t just a nursing job—it’s a profoundly human role infused with empathy, decision-making, and virtual clinical presence. You'll assess urgent concerns, guide care delivery decisions, and support families when they need it most—all from a quiet, tech-equipped home office.

Our Story and Vision

Born from the desire to bring human connection to virtual care, our company started as a small hospice provider with a bold idea: that technology can amplify compassion. Over the years, we’ve expanded our services nationwide, offering remote triage and telehealth nursing that matches the warmth of in-person care. Our mission remains focused—to deliver comfort without compromise, to guide without delay, and to support with heart.

Every voice on our triage team is part of something meaningful. We value your creativity, your clinical intuition, and your ability to think on your feet while maintaining a calm, comforting tone through every conversation.
