Primary Registered Nurse (RN)

Description

Primary Registered Nurse (RN) - Sturgeon Bay Territory 

At Unity Hospice, we believe in honoring life by bringing peace of mind and comfort when it matters most. For over 46 years, we’ve built a culture rooted in compassion, teamwork, and purpose, and we’re looking for a nurse who shares that passion.

When you join Unity, you’re not just taking a job; you’re becoming part of a supportive, collaborative team that truly makes a difference for patients and families during life’s most meaningful moments.

Schedule: Full-time, 36 hours per week, consisting of four 9-hour shifts (typically 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.). Weekend rotation is every 3rd weekend (currently every 8th weekend), with 12-hour shifts from 11:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Includes a shared 10–15-day on-call rotation and 2–3 holidays per year. Holiday coverage may require working hours outside of your regular scheduled shift. 

As a Primary Registered Nurse, you will serve as the lead case manager for patients in both home and facility settings. You’ll partner closely with float nurses and an interdisciplinary team to deliver consistent, high-quality, patient-centered care.

This role is ideal for a nurse who values autonomy, teamwork, and meaningful patient relationships. When caseloads fluctuate, you’ll step in to support your team, ensuring every patient receives seamless care.

Territory: Sturgeon Bay area (with occasional travel outside the territory)

 ***During periods when your caseload is lighter, you will be expected to support your team by assisting with patient visits and transitions, serving as a Float Registered Nurse as needed. This collaborative approach ensures that all patients receive the highest level of care, regardless of fluctuating caseloads. ***

What You’ll Do:

• Provide compassionate hospice care and case management
• Assess patient and family needs and adjust care plans accordingly
• Respond to urgent situations and initiate crisis care when needed
• Collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary team members
• Educate and support families through the end-of-life journey
• Administer medications and document care in the EMR
• Delegate and guide LPNs and CNAs
• Manage daily priorities and assist with admissions
