Get Access To All JobsWHO WE ARE
We are VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading end-of-life care provider since 1978.
Our hospice organization kickstarts careers in caring, promotes from within, and provides a nationally recognized best-in-class employee experience. Supported by industry-leading experts and a growing network of programs in 15+ states, VITAS empowers team members to grow toward their goals while transforming patients’ lives.
Our priority is to care: For our patients, for each other, and for the future.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a home care registered nurse (RN), you will ensure hospice patients are comfortable and forge compassionate, meaningful connections with the people in their lives.
This is important work that comes with equal responsibility. Patients and families trust VITAS nurses to guide them through the end-of-life journey, and maintaining that trust is our highest priority.
You will be a respected member of our team, both as a caregiver and as a hospice educator. You will be entrusted with the autonomy to make care decisions at the bedside, ensuring not a moment is wasted in bringing comfort to your patients.
You will help patients and their loved ones understand and embrace the palliative—rather than curative—nature of hospice and the benefits of comfort-focused end-of-life care.
WHERE YOU’LL WORK
Each day is different. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice patients wherever they call home, whether that means a private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility. Most VITAS nurses make 4-6 visits each day.
Once a week, you’ll visit the local program office to meet with an interdisciplinary team, including social workers, physicians, chaplains, and nurses, who collaborate to provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.
WHAT’S EXPECTED FROM YOU
A VITAS nurse is the end-of-life caregiver everyone deserves. In addition to having your RN license, at least two years of nursing experience, and reliable transportation, you'll approach your work with the traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and a Can-do Attitude.
You will keep patient welfare at the center of everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end of their life’s journey.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Currently licensed to practice nursing in the state where the VITAS program is located.
- A minimum of two years of nursing experience in hospice, home health, or community health in the last five years.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Registered Nurse Jobs at VITAS Healthcare Jobs
Get Your Nursing Credentials Evaluated Early
VITAS requires state licensure before you start, so submit your credentials to a NCSBN-approved evaluation service and begin the NCLEX process well ahead of applying. Delays in credential recognition are the most common reason offers fall through for international nurses.
Target VITAS Locations With Ongoing Openings
VITAS operates in over a dozen states, and hiring volume is not uniform across locations. Focus your applications on markets where Registered Nurse roles appear consistently, particularly in Florida, California, and Texas, where hospice demand and VITAS presence are strongest.
Ask Directly About Sponsorship During Screening
Hospice employers sometimes handle sponsorship case by case rather than as a blanket policy. Raise the visa question in your first recruiter call so you are not investing time in a pipeline that cannot support your status before an offer is extended.
Understand How TN Status Works for Nurses
Canadian and Mexican nurses may qualify for TN status, which VITAS can support without the H-1B lottery. TN classification for nurses requires a baccalaureate or licenciatura degree in nursing, so confirm your credential meets that threshold before positioning yourself as a TN candidate.
Align Your Timeline With H-1B Cap Deadlines
If you need H-1B sponsorship, USCIS registration opens in March for an October 1 start date. Work backward from that window to ensure your NCLEX is passed, your state license is active, and an offer is in place before VITAS can submit a registration on your behalf.
Use Migrate Mate to Find Open Roles Efficiently
Searching across nursing job boards for sponsorship-friendly postings is slow and unreliable. Use Migrate Mate to filter Registered Nurse openings at VITAS Healthcare by visa type, so you are only pursuing roles where sponsorship is already on the table.

Find Registered Nurse at VITAS Healthcare JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does VITAS Healthcare sponsor H-1B visas for Registered Nurses?
Yes, VITAS Healthcare has sponsored H-1B visas for Registered Nurses. Because H-1B sponsorship is employer-initiated and tied to the annual USCIS lottery, sponsorship availability can depend on hiring timelines and specific location needs. Confirm sponsorship support directly with the recruiter during your screening call before advancing in the process.
How do I apply for Registered Nurse jobs at VITAS Healthcare?
Applications go through VITAS Healthcare's careers portal, where you can filter by role and location. You can also browse Registered Nurse openings at VITAS Healthcare that are tagged for visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate, which helps you identify which specific postings are open to candidates who need work authorization support before you apply.
Which visa types does VITAS Healthcare commonly use for Registered Nurses?
VITAS Healthcare has worked with H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, and F-1 CPT visa holders in Registered Nurse roles. H-1B is the most common path for long-term sponsored employment. TN is available for Canadian and Mexican nurses with qualifying degrees. OPT and CPT are typically transitional, used by nursing graduates completing supervised clinical or post-graduation work periods.
What qualifications does VITAS Healthcare expect for Registered Nurse candidates?
VITAS requires an active Registered Nurse license in the state where you will work, along with a nursing degree from an accredited program. For hospice-specific roles, experience in palliative care, oncology, or home health is a practical advantage. International graduates must complete NCLEX and obtain state licensure before a start date can be confirmed, regardless of visa status.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Registered Nurse at VITAS Healthcare?
Timelines vary by visa type. H-1B sponsorship tied to the annual cap means a wait of up to six months from lottery selection to the October 1 start date, with USCIS registration in March. TN status can be processed more quickly, sometimes at the port of entry. Factor in state licensure processing time, which can add several additional weeks or months before you are legally authorized to start.
