Weekend On‑Call Nurse | Part‑Time | Hospice | 8–12 Hour Shifts
You are calm when it matters most.
You lead with compassion when others need reassurance.
You thrive when autonomy meets purpose.
At Bristol Hospice, we’re searching for On‑Call Weekend Registered Nurses (RN) to step into the role of our After‑Hours Warriors — the trusted clinical presence for patients and families during evenings, nights, and weekends.
This is not just an on‑call role.
It’s a mission for nurses who rise to the moment.
As an On‑Call Weekend Registered Nurse, you are the calm in the storm — responding with urgency, confidence, and empathy during critical after‑hours moments.
