What are the responsibilities and job description for the Transition Nurse (Hospice RN) position at Granite VNA, Inc.?
Description
Full-Time | Where Purpose Meets Passion
This isn’t just hospice nursing… this is hospice nursing at its most impactful.
At Granite VNA, we’re looking for an experienced RN who wants to step into a role that truly matters — guiding patients and families through some of life’s most meaningful and vulnerable moments with compassion, expertise, and heart.
If you’re the kind of nurse who values autonomy, thrives in collaboration, and wants to practice at the highest level of your license — keep reading.
What You’ll Do
- Lead hospice admissions and care transitions within a hospital setting
- Provide advanced pain and symptom management for complex patients
- Deliver Hospice House–level care when inpatient placement isn’t immediately available
- Seamlessly transition patients to home hospice care when Hospice House beds are full, ensuring continuity, comfort, and dignity no matter the setting
- Partner closely with physicians and hospital care teams as a trusted clinical expert
- Support and educate patients, families, and clinicians on hospice philosophy and goals of care
- Advocate for comfort, dignity, and deeply patient-centered decisions
Why This Role Stands Out
- Hospital-based role — no traditional home hospice caseload
- Practice at the top of your license with real clinical autonomy
- Unique flexibility to support patients across settings when needs shift
- Be part of meaningful, real-time decision-making when it matters most
- Collaborate with a highly experienced, interdisciplinary hospice team
- Make an immediate and lasting impact — every single day

- Commitment to staff safety and well-being
- Clothing stipend for branded apparel
We also invest in technology that gives you time back — including secure AI tools that reduce documentation so you can focus on what truly matters: connection, presence, and exceptional care. And yes… New Hampshire living — lakes, fresh air, and a quality of life that’s hard to beat.
Why This Work Matters
At Granite VNA, you’re not just doing a job.
You’re ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time — no matter what.
And you’ll be supported, valued, and empowered every step of the way.
Requirements
