Description:

About the Role
At Corus Medical, we believe care is more than clinical — it’s human. As a Palliative Nurse Practitioner, you’ll step into patients’ lives during some of their most vulnerable moments, helping them navigate serious illness with clarity, comfort, and dignity.

This is a field-based role in Albuquerque where you’ll provide home- and community-based care, working with a collaborative interdisciplinary team while maintaining a high level of autonomy in your daily practice. If you’re driven by meaningful patient impact, value flexibility, and are confident managing complex clinical situations, this role offers both purpose and professional fulfillment.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct comprehensive palliative care assessments addressing physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs
Manage complex symptoms such as pain, dyspnea, nausea, and fatigue using evidence-based approaches
Lead goals-of-care conversations, including advance care planning and end-of-life decision support
Collaborate closely with physicians, social workers, chaplains, and other team members to deliver coordinated care
Evaluate and facilitate appropriate transitions to home health or hospice services
Document care plans and clinical decisions accurately and in compliance with regulatory standards

Requirements:

What We’re Looking For

Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner license in New Mexico
MSN or DNP from an accredited program; board certification (FNP, AGPCNP, or equivalent) required
Prior hospice experience at some point in your nursing career
Strong clinical judgment and confidence managing complex symptom burden
Ability to navigate emotionally sensitive conversations with empathy and clarity
Excellent communication and collaboration skills across interdisciplinary teams
A patient-centered mindset and the ability to work independently with accountability

Why Join Us
At Corus Medical, you’re not just stepping into a role — you’re joining a mission: to bring out the courage in others.

You’ll be supported by strong, values-driven leadership and a team that prioritizes trust, collaboration, and compassionate care. We offer:

Flexible scheduling that respects your autonomy and work-life balance
Comprehensive healthcare benefits
A culture grounded in integrity, teaching, and teamwork
The opportunity to make a lasting difference in patients’ lives every single day

This is work that asks a lot of you — clinically and emotionally. But it also gives back: deeper connection, meaningful impact, and the chance to help patients and families find clarity and courage when it matters most.
