Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering if you are a certified nursing assistant seeking mission-driven hospice/home care work with direct patient contact. It is not a good fit for clinicians seeking a non-clinical, remote, or career-transition role.
Who should apply
Certified nursing assistants with an interest in hospice, palliative, or home care; candidates comfortable with end-of-life care, travel, family support, and physical patient-care duties.
CV angle
Frame the CV around state CNA certification, CPR, direct patient care, ADLs, hospice/end-of-life support, patient observation and documentation, care plan adherence, family communication, safety/body mechanics, and reliable transportation. Do not position this as a non-clinical transition unless you are separately highlighting transferable care coordination or documentation skills.
Skills to highlight
- Personal care and activities of daily living
- Hospice and end-of-life care support
- Patient observation and documentation
- Care plan adherence under RN direction
- CPR and safety/body mechanics
- Family communication and emotional support
- Meal preparation and feeding assistance
- Ambulation, transferring, and positioning
Role summary
A hospice CNA aide provides hands-on personal care and daily living support to hospice patients, assists with meals, mobility, exercises, homemaking, and documentation, and works under a nurse-directed care plan while supporting patients and families during end-of-life care.
