Some of the most meaningful moments in hospice care happen in the quiet hours of the afternoon and evening—when families need reassurance, symptoms need attention, and comfort matters most.
As an Evening Hospice Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Elara Caring, you’ll serve as a trusted clinical presence for patients receiving hospice services at home. This role is designed for nurses who value connection, consistency, and purpose-driven care—without overnight shifts or weekend rotations.
In this field-based position, you’ll partner closely with Registered Nurses and the interdisciplinary hospice team to deliver hands-on nursing care that supports comfort, safety, and dignity. You’ll be a key link between patients, families, and the broader care team during evening hours.

Perform patient assessments and report changes promptly to the supervising RN
Administer medications and treatments within LPN scope of practice
Reinforce hospice education with patients and caregivers to promote comfort and confidence
Identify early signs of decline or symptom escalation to help avoid unnecessary hospital visits
Maintain accurate, timely documentation of care provided
Collaborate respectfully with physicians, caregivers, and interdisciplinary partners
Uphold Elara Caring’s standards of clinical excellence and compassionate service
Graduation from an accredited practical nursing program
Active LPN license in the state of practice
At least one year of hands-on clinical nursing experience
(Hospice, palliative, or home-based care experience is a plus)
Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in the field
Clear, empathetic communication skills
Organized, dependable, and able to manage time efficiently

Career pathways within a respected national hospice organization
A culture that values your voice, experience, and well-being

This isn’t task-based nursing—it’s relationship-based care. You’ll have the time and support to focus on what truly matters: easing discomfort, supporting families, and helping patients remain at home with dignity. As a growing organization, we invite you to share your information with us for consideration for future career opportunities. This is an exciting chance to connect with our compassionate and dedicated team, who truly value your unique skills and experiences in delivering exceptional care to those we serve.
