Palliative Care RN

Illumia is seeking a compassionate and clinically skilled Palliative Care RN to join our Healthcare & Medical Services team, supporting patients with serious and life-limiting illnesses. In this role, you will provide holistic, patient- and family-centered care focused on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life. Working closely with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, social workers, spiritual care providers, and therapists, you will assess complex needs, develop and implement care plans, and offer education and emotional support to patients and their families across the continuum of care. As a Palliative Care RN at Illumia, you will conduct comprehensive physical and psychosocial assessments, manage pain and other distressing symptoms, administer medications and treatments in accordance with evidence-based protocols, and coordinate care transitions between hospital, home, hospice, and other care settings. You will advocate for patients’ goals of care, facilitate family meetings, support advance care planning, and ensure that care aligns with patients’ values and preferences. Documentation in electronic health records will be timely, accurate, and compliant with regulatory and organizational standards. You will thrive in Illumia’s culture of innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity, where your clinical expertise and compassionate presence are highly valued. You will collaborate with colleagues to refine care pathways, contribute to quality improvement initiatives in palliative and supportive care, and share insights that help shape more effective, person-centered services. Illumia encourages continuous learning; you will have opportunities to participate in ongoing education in palliative care, communication at the end of life, symptom management best practices, and interdisciplinary teamwork. This role requires strong clinical judgment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to navigate sensitive conversations about prognosis, treatment options, and end-of-life preferences with empathy and clarity. You will support caregivers by providing education, anticipatory guidance, and resources, helping them feel empowered and informed throughout the care journey. You will also collaborate with community partners and external providers to ensure continuity of care, appropriate referrals, and consistent follow-up. In addition to direct patient care, the Palliative Care RN will help identify opportunities to integrate technology-enabled solutions that streamline workflows and enhance coordination of care, reflecting Illumia’s broader mission of using innovation to improve outcomes and efficiency. You will contribute to case reviews, team huddles, and debriefs, sharing observations that inform practice improvements and support a resilient, supportive team environment. This position is ideal for a nurse who is deeply committed to patient dignity, comfort, and communication, and who is eager to grow within a supportive organization that values both clinical excellence and human connection. Illumia offers a dynamic setting where your work in palliative care will meaningfully improve patients’ and families’ experiences, while you advance your own professional skills and career.
