Lead Hospice Registered Nurse

We are AdvisaCare Hospice. We are looking for an RN to help us lead our Tucson office startup.

We believe in giving the Gift of Hospice.

We believe hospice is an invaluable and under-utilized service. We are going to be a leader in the hospice industry. We are just getting started, so we are not there right now. Getting to become a leader is not easy. It takes hard work, energy and sacrifice.

We are in a people business and we are looking for someone who understands this principle and is able to connect quickly with others and also able to work with and through their team.

We are looking for someone who doesnt let things linger or avoid issues. Someone who has a natural tick tock inside them and who is continuously working to move things forward.

We want someone who doesnt let things fall through the cracks, and is also not so enamored with the details that they cant see the big picture.

We are looking for someone with a hospice background. Either building from the ground up or coming in to an established agency and having been the main cog on getting it to the next level.

If you believe you are an A player in hospice and are looking for your next challenge, we should talk.
