About the Opportunity

MyShyft is partnering with a hospice agency in the Franklin, Tennessee area to provide Licensed Practical Nurses for Continuous Care and Crisis Care shifts, supporting high-acuity patients in both home and facility settings.

This is an ongoing opportunity — not a short-term assignment — for an LPN who wants consistent access to shifts without a long-term commitment. Nurses work independently in the field while receiving strong support from the broader care team, and pay is set by the nurse and processed as soon as a shift is clocked out.

PRN, 1099 independent contractor; shift-by-shift flexibility; no long-term commitment required
