Education and Skills for Hospice Registered Nurse Jobs

In order to qualify for RN jobs, hospice employers will require that you hold either an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). An ADN will take around two years; a BSN will take around four years. While ADN is the quicker route, a BSN is a more comprehensive nursing education and employers may prefer to hire candidates who have this degree.

After completing your nursing degree, you need to pass the NCLEX-RN exam before you’re legally allowed to practice. Obtaining certifications such as Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN) or Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (ACHPN) can increase not only your clinical skills but also your competitiveness on the job market.
