How Much Does a Hospice Nurse Make?

Specialties Hospice

Published

Hello everyone, I will have a year experience in acute care in September which is the minimum requirement for 2 Hospice jobs I have recently applied for here in NC.

Does anyone know what the salary rate for a Hospice nurse is? Especially in NC? I've always wanted to be a Hospice nurse but no one would hire me in NC when I first moved here as a New Grad last year.

Second, those that do work as a Hospice nurse here, how do you like it?

My mother had a Hospice nurse when she passed away with cancer and that nurse is the reason why I went to nursing school in the first place. I always will remember her for her kindness and the care she gave to my mother. I want to be that Hospice nurse, it would be my dream job!

Any info would be much appreciated!:redbeathe

what company do you work for?

55k plus benefits after 90 days. cell and laptop, plus mileage. 4-6 visits daily, unless theres an admit, then its less.Call one wknd per month, $2 per hr, plus set rate for call out, more for a death call out.

Specializes in Public Health, School Nursing, Psych.

I just started a full-time On-Call RN position (hours Fri 5p -Mon 8a) in central CA.

$80,080/year, fully benefitted. Salary is $20-30K less than school or hospital nursing.

Should be interesting as I also work FT as a School District Nurse (184 days/year, 7.25 hrs/day).

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there is taking after hours hospice calls for an hourly wage? If so, do you receive shift differential?
