Applied to hospice last night — those “real-time” slots vanish; complete TB test early. Some require brief training.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠‌‌‌​⁠‌‌​⁠‌‌⁠‌​‌‍‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‌⁠‌​‌​‌​‌⁠‌⁠‍‍‌⁠​‌‌‌​‍​⁠​‌​⁠‌‍‌‍​⁠‌⁠‌‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Slots vanish fast; I prepped references and background check first — saves days. @OP “real-time” is right. Evening shifts help.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​⁠​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​​⁠​⁠‌‍‌​⁠​‌​‌‌‌‍‌⁠‌​⁠‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌⁠‌‍‌​⁠⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​⁠‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Called the hospice volunteer coordinator at 8 a.m. and got onboarded same day; they wanted flu/COVID proof and a “two-step TB,” so I used the QuantiFERON blood test to skip the second visit. @baker65 good call on documents — add fingerprints and a quick HIPAA module, and note some postings expire by evening.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​​​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌⁠⁠‌​‍⁠​⁠‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‍⁠​⁠​​‌​⁠‍‌​⁠‌​⁠‍​‌⁠‌‍‌​‍‍‌⁠​‍‌⁠‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‌⁠‌‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I got started by asking for the “inpatient unit” and the “respite pool” — those onboarded faster for me than home visits. Having my driver’s license, auto insurance, and a one-page vax record in a single PDF helped; some hospices also ask for a motor vehicle report. @OP if patient-facing openings are full, the bereavement call team is a solid entry point — it’s like speed dating for paperwork.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍‌‍‍​‌‍‌⁠‌⁠‌‌‌​​‍‌‍⁠‌‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌⁠​‍‌‌⁠⁠‌‍​⁠​‍⁠‌‌‍‍​‌‍‍⁠‌⁠‍​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I got in fastest by asking for the “11th-hour” bedside vigil track and emailing a basic HIPAA/privacy cert with my app — like TSA PreCheck for onboarding. If your local site drags, try a smaller community hospice or ask about bereavement phone check-ins so you can start remotely, @csanders91.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​⁠‌‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‍​⁠‌​⁠‍‌‌⁠⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌​‍‌‌​​⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠‍​‍⁠‌‌⁠‌‌‌​​‍​‍⁠‌​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I shaved days off by requesting the “bereavement phone team” and finishing their online modules and background check upfront; they put me on the schedule before my first unit shadow… @gmartin87 is spot on about fast tracks, but note some sites still require a two-step TB even for remote roles, so your speed-run can pause for lab timing.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‌⁠​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‍‌​⁠​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‌⁠‌⁠‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​⁠​⁠‍‌‌‌⁠⁠​⁠​​​⁠‌‍‌‍​‌‌​‌​‌​⁠⁠​‍⁠‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

Fastest track for me was pre-weekend ‘tuck-in’ calls and DME/supply runs; attach your driver’s license, insurance, and current TB/vax dates with the app so they can badge you fast. @csanders91 nailed the specialty angle, but if bedside clears slow, ops/warehouse shifts still meet the need and schedule you within days. Given these are ‘posted in real-time,’ apply the same day and ask for the next Friday/Saturday tuck-in block.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​⁠‍​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌‌‌​‌‌⁠⁠‌‌‍‌‌​​⁠‌‍​‌‌‌​⁠‌​‍​‌⁠​‍‌‍‌⁠‌​‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌⁠​⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠‌​⁠⁠‌​⁠​​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

I got scheduled within a week by asking to handle “legacy recording” visits — short story-capture sessions the social workers needed covered. If your site doesn’t do that, offer quick caregiver “respite sits” during team meetings and they’ll usually plug you in fast.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​​​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠‌​‌‌‌​‌⁠‌​​⁠​⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‌‍‌‌​⁠​‌​⁠​‌​‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‍⁠⁠‌​‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠⁠​⁠​‍​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​

But offering to cover ‘eleventh hour’ vigil slots and inpatient sitter shifts got me onboard fast; I emailed my weeknight availability and they slotted me after the first shadow. Those spots are like red-eye flights — always open. Not every site lets new folks start there, so if they hesitate, ask to begin with chart scanning in the office to get your badge and EMR login.

‌⁠‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠‌‍‌‍⁠⁠‌‍⁠​‌⁠‌‌‌‍⁠‍‌⁠‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌⁠​‍​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌⁠​‍‌‍‌‌‌⁠​​‌‍⁠​‌⁠‍‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​⁠‌⁠​⁠‌‍​⁠​⁠​⁠‌​​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‌​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍​⁠​‍​⁠​​​⁠​‍​⁠‌‍​⁠​​​⁠​‌​⁠​‍​⁠​‌​‍​‍​‍⁠​​‍​‍‌‍‍​​‍​‍​⁠‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌⁠‌​‍‍‌‍⁠⁠​⁠‌‍‌‍‍‌​⁠‌‌​⁠‍‌‌‌​‌‌‍‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍⁠⁠‌‍​‌​⁠​⁠‌‍‍⁠​‍​‍‌⁠⁠‌​
