About Us
Suite Living Hospice Care is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality hospice services to geriatric patients. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families by offering expert, patient-centered care in a supportive and respectful environment. We understand that hospice care extends beyond medical needs - it's about dignity, comfort, and compassion for patients and peace of mind for their loved ones.
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Registered Nurse (RN) to join our hospice team as a Weekend Phone Triage Nurse. This vital role provides after-hours clinical support, guidance, and triage for hospice patients and families via phone. The nurse will assess patient needs, provide education and reassurance, and coordinate care as needed. While this is primarily a remote, phone-based position, occasional in-person visits may be required for urgent situations.
This role is ideal for a compassionate, autonomous nurse who excels in assessment, communication, and crisis management - and who values the flexibility of weekend, per diem work.

- Conduct thorough symptom assessments over the phone and provide clinical guidance, education, and emotional support.
- Determine when an in-person nursing visit or escalation is necessary.
- Coordinate care with the interdisciplinary hospice team, including physicians, aides, and case managers.
- Document all triage calls, interventions, and follow-up actions in the EMR promptly and accurately.
In-Person Visits (as needed)
- Respond to urgent patient needs that require in-person evaluation or intervention.
- Administer medications, manage symptoms, and provide comfort measures consistent with hospice protocols.
- Communicate changes in patient condition to the appropriate on-call or case management staff.
Qualifications
- Graduate of an accredited School of Nursing
- Active RN license in the state of Minnesota
- Minimum 1 year of hospice or home health experience preferred
- Strong clinical assessment and critical thinking skills
