Full Job Description
Advanced Practice Nurse (NP or CNS): Inpatient Palliative Care Services

Community Hospital, Munster, Indiana

Community Hospital is seeking a compassionate Advanced Practice Nurse to join our Inpatient Palliative Care Consult Service. This is an opportunity to practice high-level, relationship-centered medicine while maintaining good work-life balance.

Why This Position Stands Out:
  • No call
  • No weekends
  • Weekday schedule
  • Consult-focused practice
  • Collaborative interdisciplinary team
  • Support for palliative care certification


Role Highlights:
  • Symptom management and complex case consultation
  • Goals-of-care discussions and advance care planning
  • Family meetings and interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Education for patients, families, and staff


This role allows time for thoughtful conversations and thorough documentation - not high-volume rounding.

Qualified candidates must be a graduate of an accredited NP or CNS program with Indiana APRN licensure eligibility. Palliative care experience is welcomed but not required; strong interest and communication skills are essential.

If you are seeking a hospital-based role that prioritizes thoughtful patient care and balanced scheduling, we encourage you to apply.
