Hospice Registered Nurse Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a hospice registered nurse in Pennsylvania?

You become a hospice registered nurse in Pennsylvania by first earning an Associate Degree in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, then passing the NCLEX-RN exam and obtaining an active license from the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. Most hospice employers in Pennsylvania also expect clinical experience in medical-surgical, oncology, or home health settings before a dedicated hospice role. The Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse credential, while not required to start, strengthens candidacy considerably.

How much do hospice registered nurses make in Pennsylvania?

Hospice registered nurses in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $96,430 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,800 for the lowest 10% to over $117,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire hospice registered nurses in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring hospice registered nurses in Pennsylvania right now include Amedisys, Affinity Health Management, and Adoration Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's dense network of hospital-affiliated hospice programs and large regional home health agencies means full-time and per-diem openings appear regularly across both urban centers and rural counties.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most hospice registered nurse jobs?

The Pennsylvania cities with the most hospice registered nurse openings are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Lancaster. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh drive volume through their large academic health systems and affiliated home hospice networks, while smaller metro areas like Allentown appear on the list because anchor employers such as Lehigh Valley Health Network support dedicated inpatient and community hospice programs year-round.

Are there remote hospice registered nurse jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. Hospice nursing is fundamentally a hands-on, patient-facing role requiring home visits or inpatient bedside care, so fully remote positions are a small share of the market. About 0% of hospice registered nurse openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those are typically triage nurse or telephonic case management roles that support field teams rather than direct patient care.

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

The most realistic entry path is completing a new-graduate nurse residency at a Pennsylvania health system such as UPMC, Jefferson Health, or Geisinger, then requesting a rotation or transfer into palliative care or home health. Lateral moves from medical-surgical or oncology floor nursing are the most common bridge into hospice. Earning your Pennsylvania RN license promptly and pursuing Basic Life Support and CPR certification before applying strengthens every application, and some regional home health agencies hire new graduates for per-diem community roles that build the case mix experience hospice teams look for.

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

You can find and apply to hospice registered nurse jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current Pennsylvania openings across home hospice agencies, inpatient facilities, and hospital-affiliated palliative care programs. Find the roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly to the employer from the listing.
