Overview

Summary

IU Health Hospice Care provides patients with comprehensive care delivered by a highly trained, interdisciplinary team led by the hospice medical director. IU Health Hospice LPNs work closely with RN case managers to provide skilled care in a patient’s home setting. This may be a private residence, an assisted living facility, a skilled nursing facility, or a group home. The holistic services that our Hospice professionals offer add to our patients’ overall quality of life.  

Our Hospice nurses participate in a team approach to serving patients and have flexibility to provide patients with individualized care and to support patients’ family members. Examples of the care you will provide include infusions, pain pumps, line care, catheter care, wound care, chronic disease process management, patient / family education, and compassionate end of life care.   

Being an IU Health nurse means building a professional nursing career designed by you, with competitive benefits, a culture that embraces your outstanding strengths, and supports your personal and professional goals. If you are seeking an organization where you can engage professionally, develop clinical expertise, foster learning, cultivate new relationships, and fuel your spirit of inquiry, join us!  

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed for you, which includes Medical-Dental-Vision, a matching 401K, PTO, tuition reimbursement program, wellness program, and more!
