Hospice Registered Nurse Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hospice registered nurse in Ohio?
You must hold an active RN license issued by the Ohio Board of Nursing, which requires completing an accredited Associate Degree in Nursing or Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN exam. Most Ohio hospice employers prefer at least one year of clinical experience in medical-surgical, oncology, or home health nursing before hiring into a hospice role. Earning the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse credential strengthens your candidacy considerably with Ohio employers.
How much do hospice registered nurses make in Ohio?
Hospice registered nurses in Ohio earn a median of about $82,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $66,980 for the lowest 10% to over $105,290 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire hospice registered nurses in Ohio?
Employers hiring hospice registered nurses in Ohio right now include Affinity Health Management, Ohio's Hospice, and Suncrest Hospice, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Ohio's large integrated health systems and dedicated hospice networks consistently post openings year-round, reflecting the state's sustained demand for end-of-life care professionals.
Which Ohio cities have the most hospice registered nurse jobs?
Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati have the most hospice registered nurse openings in Ohio. Columbus and Cleveland lead because of their large health system campuses and dense surrounding suburbs with high volumes of older residents, while Cincinnati's major medical corridor and Greater Dayton's regional hospice networks also generate consistent hiring activity.
Are there remote hospice registered nurse jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're rare. Hospice nursing is fundamentally a hands-on, patient-facing role, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 18% of hospice registered nurse openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to involve telehealth triage, care coordination, or clinical documentation roles rather than direct bedside patient care.
How can I get hired as a hospice registered nurse in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate nurse residency programs at large Ohio health systems such as OhioHealth or Cleveland Clinic, which offer structured rotations that include palliative and home health placements. Lateral moves from medical-surgical, oncology, or long-term care nursing are widely accepted by Ohio hospice employers as qualifying experience. Completing a certified nursing assistant role in a hospice setting while finishing your nursing degree, combined with an active Ohio Board of Nursing license, gives you a measurable edge at the point of application.
