Admissions Registered Nurse

At Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, we believe hospice care must be better. As an Admissions team, we have the opportunity to make a lasting impact—delivering expert care with compassion and honoring each unique journey. Every moment matters, and getting it right is essential to providing the best possible end-of-life experience.

The Admissions Registered Nurse is the first connection between hospice and those served, primarily meeting patients and families in hospital settings. This role ensures a smooth transition to hospice care by providing education, reassurance, and support. More than completing admissions, this nurse serves as a trusted presence in the community, collaborating with hospital teams, advocating for patient needs, and ensuring care is delivered with efficiency, compassion, and expertise. Acting as a critical link to the care team, the Admissions Registered Nurse communicates patient and family needs to registered nurse case managers, ensuring seamless coordination that provides expert symptom relief, emotional support, and continuity of care when families need it most.
