Hospice Registered Nurse Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a hospice registered nurse in Washington?
To become a hospice registered nurse in Washington, you must hold an active RN license issued by the Washington State Department of Health, which requires completing an accredited nursing program and passing the NCLEX-RN exam. An associate degree in nursing qualifies you to sit for the exam, though many Washington hospice employers prefer a BSN. Some hospice agencies also value or require a Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse credential from the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center.
How much do hospice registered nurses make in Washington?
Hospice registered nurses in Washington earn a median of about $124,200 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $89,630 for the lowest 10% to over $161,910 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire hospice registered nurses in Washington?
Employers hiring hospice registered nurses in Washington right now include Optum, Envision Hospice, and Providence at Home with Compassus, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Washington's dense network of nonprofit hospice organizations and large integrated health systems means openings surface frequently across both urban centers and rural service areas throughout the state.
Which Washington cities have the most hospice registered nurse jobs?
Seattle, Lacey, and Tacoma have the most hospice registered nurse openings in Washington. Seattle's concentration of major health systems and nonprofit hospice agencies drives the largest share of listings, while Spokane and Tacoma reflect strong regional demand anchored by Providence, MultiCare, and other established employers serving growing aging populations in those corridors.
Are there remote hospice registered nurse jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Hospice nursing is a hands-on, patient-facing role that typically requires in-home visits, so most positions are field-based rather than remote. About 0% of hospice registered nurse openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles are most commonly in case management coordination, triage nursing, or clinical documentation review rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a hospice registered nurse in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate RN residency programs at Washington health systems such as Providence Health and Services or MultiCare, which offer rotations that include palliative and home health exposure. Starting as a home health aide, CNA, or medical-surgical staff nurse at a hospice-affiliated employer builds the clinical foundation Washington agencies look for. Completing the NCLEX-RN and pursuing a BSN strengthens your candidacy, and volunteering with a Washington hospice organization demonstrates genuine commitment to end-of-life care.
Where can I find and apply to hospice registered nurse jobs in Washington?
