Hospice RN Case Manager (Rockdale / Dekalb / Newton County, GA)

Ennoble Care is on the lookout for a Hospice RN Case Manager to support patients in the Rockdale, DeKalb and Newton County area in Georgia. Ennoble Care brings care to patients where they live, offering mobile primary, palliative and hospice services along with programs like remote patient monitoring and behavioral health management. The team is driven by a motto that values care as an honor, and they’re looking for nurses who want to make a direct difference in people’s lives by delivering compassionate, home-based care. This is a full-time, onsite role that suits someone who enjoys coordinating intricate care plans and supporting families through challenging times.

As part of the interdisciplinary team, the RN Case Manager works under the direction of the Director of Nursing and in concert with the attending physician to deliver skilled nursing assessments, careful planning, and effective care. The goal is to maximise comfort and health for patients and their loved ones, with a focus on clear communication, partnership with other care providers, and thorough documentation. If you value a role that blends clinical practice with case management and bereavement support in a home setting, this position could be a good fit.

Care coordination in patient homes

You’ll oversee a defined patient caseload, guiding the nursing process from assessment through evaluation to ensure care plans align with patient goals and evolving needs. You’ll initiate and sustain contact with attending physicians, Hospice staff and external partners to coordinate resources and ensure optimal care for patients and their families, while keeping the physician informed about ongoing patient status. You’ll actively seek insights from other team members to enrich the plan of care and you’ll document accurately in the electronic medical records system. You’ll participate in interdisciplinary group meetings, contributing pertinent information that informs staff discussions, and you’ll help prepare caregivers and, when appropriate, provide direct care to support the patient’s needs. Regular collaboration with Hospice nursing staff helps address any caseload problems, with opportunities to share professional insights and promote growth. You’ll attend patient care conferences to discuss caseload issues with the broader team, supervise and document the NAC every two weeks or as assigned, and alert the Patient Care Coordinator to any unusual or potentially problematic situations. In times of off-hours coverage, you may step in as an associate nurse to support patient and family needs, and you’ll provide appropriate support at the time of death and during the bereavement period. The role also includes participating in orientation and ongoing in-service training, involvement in agency and community programs to deepen hospice understanding, staying up to date with agency policies and the rules governing hospice care, and taking on additional assignments as needed.

What you’ll need to bring to the team

Here are the essentials to be considered for this role, followed by a separate note on a valuable extra that would help you stand out:

• Graduate from an accredited School of Nursing and hold an active Georgia RN license
• Have at least one year of RN experience; hospice experience is not required but is a plus
• Be CPR certified for patient care when there is no DNR in place
• Demonstrate strong assessment and problem-solving abilities
• Show solid organizational skills and the ability to manage time effectively, with familiarity in case management processes
• Be a licensed driver with an insured vehicle in good condition
• Communicate clearly, both verbally and in written form
• Maintain an unencumbered RN license and be prepared to administer medications, perform medication reconciliation, and handle nursing procedures within the state’s scope of practice; all skills should be demonstrable before hands-on patient care

• Hospice experience (preferred)

Advice for applicants

Put your Georgia RN license and a clear note about your year of RN experience at the top of your resume, and highlight any hospice-related work or case-management duties you’ve performed in home-based settings.

Back up your claims with concrete examples: describe how you coordinated with physicians and hospice staff, how you documented in EMR, and how you supported families with teaching and bereavement needs. If you have any hands-on examples of medication reconciliation or medication administration within state rules, outline them succinctly.

Be ready to talk through real-world scenarios you’ve handled that show your assessment and problem-solving prowess, and share how you stay organized and manage a caseload across multiple patients and teams.

Ask a focused question about how the interdisciplinary team collaborates and how off-hours coverage is structured, for example: how does the team handle off-hours updates and handoffs when stepping in as an associate nurse to support patient and family needs?
