Hospice Registered Nurse Jobs in Maine: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hospice registered nurse in Maine?
To become a hospice registered nurse in Maine, you must hold an active RN license issued by the Maine State Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN exam. Maine participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other compact states may practice without a separate Maine license. Most employers then look for clinical experience in palliative, home health, or medical-surgical settings before placing nurses in hospice roles.
How much do hospice registered nurses make in Maine?
Hospice registered nurses in Maine earn a median of about $86,990 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $74,160 for the lowest 10% to over $106,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire hospice registered nurses in Maine?
Employers hiring hospice registered nurses in Maine right now include Andwell Health Partners, Affinity Health Management, and Amedisys, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Maine's integrated health systems and regional home health agencies tend to be the most consistent sources of hospice RN openings throughout the state.
Which Maine cities have the most hospice registered nurse jobs?
The Maine cities with the most hospice registered nurse openings are Augusta, Norway, and Brunswick. Portland leads because it is home to the state's largest health systems and densest population, while Bangor and Augusta generate steady demand through regional medical centers and the home health agencies that serve surrounding rural communities.
How can I get hired as a hospice registered nurse in Maine with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a new graduate RN position in a med-surg, home health, or palliative care unit at a Maine health system such as MaineHealth or Northern Light Health, building clinical skills before moving into hospice. Many Maine facilities offer structured new-grad residency programs that rotate through relevant care settings. Lateral moves from home health aide supervisor, skilled nursing facility RN, or oncology nurse roles are also common bridges, and completing a hospice volunteer program strengthens any application considerably.
