Why this was classified this way

  • Per diem

Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Consider only if you are seeking direct hospice CNA work and meet state certification, CPR, and reliable transportation requirements. It is not a strong fit for clinicians trying to move into non-clinical or healthcare-adjacent roles.

Who should apply

Certified nursing assistants with hospice, home health, long-term care, or direct patient care experience who want field-based end-of-life care work; nursing students or healthcare graduates who already hold a CNA credential may also consider it.

CV angle

Frame your CV around state CNA certification, CPR, direct personal care, ADL support, hospice or end-of-life comfort care, patient observation and reporting, documentation, care plan adherence, safety/body mechanics, and reliable field-based patient support. Do not present this as a non-clinical transition role.

Skills to highlight

  • Personal care and ADL support
  • Hospice and end-of-life comfort care
  • Patient observation and status reporting
  • Care plan adherence under RN supervision
  • Ambulation, transferring, positioning, and range of motion
  • Meal preparation and feeding assistance
  • Documentation and communication with interdisciplinary team
  • CPR and safety/body mechanics

Role summary

A field-based hospice CNA role providing hands-on personal care, ADL support, meal assistance, homemaking, patient observation, and documentation for patients receiving end-of-life care under an RN-directed plan.
