Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) - Hospice
Carem, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, 87101
Description
About the Role
At Corus Health, hospice care is about presence, dignity, and trust — especially in life’s most vulnerable moments. As a
Hospice LPN , you’ll provide skilled, compassionate nursing care in patients’ homes while supporting families through one of the hardest seasons they will ever face. You’ll work with autonomy in the field, backed by a collaborative interdisciplinary team that values clear communication, mutual respect, and doing the right thing — even when it’s hard. This role is ideal for an LPN who wants meaningful work, strong clinical partnership, and the time to truly care. At Corus, we don’t rush people through the end of life. We walk with them — bringing steadiness, clarity, and courage along the way.
Key Responsibilities
Provide skilled hospice nursing care under the direction of a Registered Nurse and the established plan of care
Administer medications and treatments in accordance with physician orders and agency policies
Monitor and document changes in patients’ physical, emotional, and psychosocial status, reporting significant findings promptly
Educate patients and caregivers on comfort measures, medications, and what to expect throughout the hospice journey
Collaborate closely with RNs, social workers, aides, chaplains, and other team members to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care
Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in the EMR in compliance with CareM standards
Participate in interdisciplinary team meetings, case conferences, and quality improvement activities
Navigate complex family dynamics with professionalism, empathy, and healthy boundaries
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
Graduate of an accredited practical or vocational nursing program
Current, unrestricted LPN license in the state of New Mexico
Prior hospice experience strongly preferred
Minimum of one year of clinical nursing experience (home health, hospice, or acute care preferred)
Current CPR (BLS) certification
Strong clinical judgment, time management, and communication skills
Ability to work independently in the field while staying closely connected to the care team
Emotional steadiness, compassion, and reliability — especially in difficult situations
Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and current auto insurance
Why Join Us
Supportive leadership and strong RN partnership — you’re never on your own
Manageable caseloads
with realistic expectations and time to build relationships
Autonomy in the field,
paired with responsive clinical and operational support
Comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, PTO, and holidays
Mileage reimbursement and the tools you need to succeed in the field
Ongoing training, education, and opportunities to grow within hospice care
A mission-driven culture grounded in trust, integrity, collaboration, and compassion
At Corus Health, our mission is
to bring out the courage in others
— in our patients, their families, and each other. If you’re an LPN who leads with compassion, holds healthy boundaries, and takes pride in doing meaningful work with integrity, we’d be honored to meet you.
