Patient Care Manager

Overview

You became a nurse to make a difference what if you could do that and lead others to do the same?

If you've spent the last few years as a hospice nurse, you already know-it's more than a job. It's the quiet moments, the hard conversations, and the privilege of being there when it matters most.

Now imagine taking that experience and stepping into a role where you can guide a team, support your fellow nurses, and shape the care patients and families receive every single day.

Good Shepherd Hospice is looking for a Patient Care Manager, and a nurse with 3-5 years of hospice experience could be the perfect fit.
