Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) - Hospice
About the Role
At Corus Health, hospice care is about presence, dignity, and trust — especially in life’s most vulnerable moments. As a Hospice LPN, you’ll provide skilled, compassionate nursing care in patients’ homes while supporting families through one of the hardest seasons they will ever face. You’ll work with autonomy in the field, backed by a collaborative interdisciplinary team that values clear communication, mutual respect, and doing the right thing — even when it’s hard. This role is ideal for an LPN who wants meaningful work, strong clinical partnership, and the time to truly care. At Corus, we don’t rush people through the end of life. We walk with them — bringing steadiness, clarity, and courage along the way.
