Hospice Registered Nurse Jobs in Mississippi: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a hospice registered nurse in Mississippi?

You must hold an active RN license issued by the Mississippi Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN examination. Once licensed, most hospice employers expect at least some clinical background, though new graduates are considered by agencies with structured orientation programs. The Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse credential, awarded by the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center, strengthens your candidacy significantly in Mississippi's competitive hospice market.

How much do hospice registered nurses make in Mississippi?

Hospice registered nurses in Mississippi earn a median of about $77,090 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,610 for the lowest 10% to over $100,350 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire hospice registered nurses in Mississippi?

Employers hiring hospice registered nurses in Mississippi right now include Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, Optum, and Gentiva, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Mississippi's hospice hiring is spread across both large national agencies with regional offices and locally operated nonprofit organizations serving rural communities throughout the state.

Which Mississippi cities have the most hospice registered nurse jobs?

Biloxi, Tupelo, and Southaven have the most hospice registered nurse openings in Mississippi. Jackson leads due to its concentration of hospital systems and regional medical infrastructure, while Gulfport and Hattiesburg anchor hiring along the Gulf Coast and in the Pine Belt, where large home health agencies and integrated health systems support substantial hospice programs.

Are there remote hospice registered nurse jobs in Mississippi?

Yes, but they're rare. Hospice nursing is fundamentally a hands-on, field-based role that centers on direct patient care in homes and facilities, so most positions require in-person work. About 0% of hospice registered nurse openings tied to Mississippi are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles tend to involve triage nursing, telephonic case management, or clinical documentation review rather than direct patient visits.

How can I get hired as a hospice registered nurse in Mississippi with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate RN positions at larger Mississippi home health and hospice agencies like Amedisys or LHC Group, which operate structured orientation and preceptorship programs in the state. Lateral experience in medical-surgical nursing, oncology, or skilled nursing facilities is viewed favorably and is often a direct bridge into hospice roles. Earning your Mississippi RN license promptly and pursuing a Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse credential early signals serious commitment to hospice work.

Where can I find and apply to hospice registered nurse jobs in Mississippi?
