Job description

We are currently recruiting for a Weekend Hospice Nurse (RN or LPN) in Tucson to join our hospice's after hours nursing team. As an Weekend Hospice Nurse you are the focal point of care management across our interdisciplinary team for our patients after hours.

At Agape, we believe our mission is three-fold:

Our after hours program provides a number of exceptional support systems for both our patients, and our on call staff. As an after hours nurse at Agape, you are never alone. You work with other members of the after hours team in coordination of visits to patients who are in need of care outside our normal business hours.
