The Role
The Palliative & Hospice role at a glance
Palliative and hospice nurse practitioners manage symptoms and goals of care for patients with serious, advanced, or life-limiting illness: pain and dyspnea control, advance care planning, and family support alongside interdisciplinary teams.
Palliative roles run alongside active treatment in hospital consult services, clinics, and home-based programs. Hospice roles focus on comfort-directed care at home, in facilities, and in inpatient hospice units. Both lean heavily on communication skills, and goals-of-care conversations are the core clinical procedure.
Requirements & certification
- Graduate NP degree with national certification through AANPCB or ANCC (adult-gerontology or family track per the patient population)
- The optional ACHPN credential through the Hospice and Palliative Credentialing Center (HPCC) recognizes advanced hospice and palliative practice
- Active state APRN licensure and DEA registration, since symptom management relies on controlled-substance prescribing
- Employers screen for serious-illness communication skills and comfort with complex symptom management
