About the Role

As a Hospice Admissions RN at Touchstone Hospice, you are often the first steady presence families encounter during one of the hardest moments of their lives. You guide conversations that require clarity, compassion, and confidence — helping patients and families understand hospice, make informed decisions, and transition into care with dignity and trust.

This role is ideal for an experienced hospice admissions nurse who values autonomy, meaningful patient connection, and a team culture built on respect and collaboration. Your clinical judgment, emotional steadiness, and ability to explain hospice with calm assurance will directly shape each family’s first experience with our care.

At Touchstone, our mission is simple and serious: to bring out the courage in others — in patients, families, and in one another.

• Conduct comprehensive hospice admission assessments, including physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs
  
• Evaluate hospice eligibility based on patient condition, prognosis, and CMS criteria
  
• Educate patients and families on hospice philosophy, goals of care, and available services with clarity and empathy
  
• Develop and initiate individualized plans of care in collaboration with physicians and the interdisciplinary team
  
• Coordinate smooth, timely transitions into hospice care with accurate and complete documentation
  
• Serve as a clinical liaison with referral sources, facilities, and internal hospice staff
  
• Advocate for patient preferences, values, and goals throughout the admission process
  

• Current, unencumbered RN license in Texas
  
• Prior hospice admissions experience required
  
• Strong clinical judgment and confidence explaining hospice to patients and families
  
• Emotional steadiness and empathy in complex, high-stakes conversations
  
• Ability to work independently in the field while staying connected to the team
  
• Excellent communication skills across diverse cultural, spiritual, and emotional needs
  
• CPR certification, reliable transportation, valid driver’s license, and auto insurance
  

At Touchstone Hospice, nurses are trusted to do their work well — without micromanagement and without unnecessary noise. We value autonomy in the field, collaboration behind the scenes, and leaders who understand the emotional weight of hospice admissions.

You’ll find:

• Competitive compensation
  
• Excellent health insurance benefits
  
• Flexibility that supports real work-life balance
  
• A supportive interdisciplinary team that shows up for one another
  
• A culture grounded in trust, integrity, and calm professionalism
  

We don’t rush families. We don’t rush our nurses. We believe courage shows up in honesty, presence, and follow-through — especially on emotionally heavy days.

If you’re an experienced hospice admissions RN who knows how to meet families where they are and guide them forward with confidence and care, we’d be honored to talk with you.
