The work is home-based care—patients in their own homes across the Hartford area—rather than a single hospital unit. That gives you real names to compare if you are weighing more than one offer. Pay ranges, scheduling patterns, ratios, residency support,…
On your path
Hospice is a specialty you move into. Med surg, oncology, or home health is the usual door in.
