Some of the most important decisions happen after hours—when a hospice patient develops new symptoms, a home health nurse needs clinical guidance, a provider requires support, or a family simply needs reassurance.
As Riverside’s After-Hours Triage & Clinical Support Nurse , you’ll be the experienced clinical leader helping patients, families, clinicians, and providers navigate those moments with confidence. This is much more than answering phone calls. You’ll serve as the clinical hub for Hospice, and Provider Services , providing expert triage, supporting field clinicians, ensuring quality documentation, and helping our teams deliver exceptional care after hours.

Why This Role Matters When families call after hours, they’re often experiencing one of the most stressful moments of their healthcare journey.
When field nurses need support, they need someone they can trust. When patients require urgent intervention, every decision matters. As Riverside’s After-Hours Triage & Clinical Support Nurse, you’ll help ensure patients receive the right care at the right time while supporting clinicians across Hospice, and Provider Services.
