Who they are
You are deciding on hospice nursing in Santa Fe with Del Corazon Hospice. The work is in patients’ homes, assisted living, and long-term care—not a fixed unit floor.
More about Del Corazon Hospice
Full-time Hospice RN postings describe setting your own Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends; PRN roles sit alongside that if you want flexible days. Day to day you manage symptoms and pain so someone’s last stretch can hold more dignity. Local coverage calls Del Corazon Santa Fe’s newest hospice provider. A Hospice Analytics quality ranking lists them at 83/100 against a national average of 68. One employee was named Hospice Aide of the Year by the New Mexico Association for Home & Hospice. Pay language is thinner than the schedule detail: full-time is called competitive without a dollar amount, and PRN listings show a $50–$110 per-day range. You will need a New Mexico RN license, BLS, TB test, drug screen, background check, plus a valid driver’s license and auto insurance to cover the territory.
Symptom management so last days are spent with dignity and quality of life; care delivered where patients already live—home, assisted living, and long-term care.
