Virginia Hospice Nurse Salaries

Published

I've just relocated to VA from the West coast and am planning to continue hospice nursing here - probably in the Hampton Roads or Richmond areas. Can anyone give me feedback on what I can expect the hourly compensation range to be? I've been a nurse for ten years and my last two years of experience were in hospice. I've also posted a thread in the Hospice forum regarding this question. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your feedback. Could you tell me whether you're your home health agency is connected to a tertiary care system (a hospital system) or if it's an independent agency?

i am working for an independent agency, tho as several office along the east coast. i have worked for a hospital based agency and can tell you the pay is similar. from what i have heard the salaries are lower in this area because of all the military. Still a nice area to live. and being originally from the north, can't beat the weather.
