About the Opportunity / A Day in the Life:This is adult neurology at a pace that lets you actually practice it. You will see roughly 12 patients a day, with 60 minutes for a new consult and 30 for a follow-up - enough room for a real neurological exam, a careful history, and a conversation the patient understands before they leave.
A typical day moves between new neurological complaints and established patients you are managing over time: reviewing imaging and diagnostic studies, adjusting medications, tracking disease progression, and bringing complex presentations to the physicians you work alongside. The case mix is broad - migraine and headache disorders, movement disorders, neuropathy, and other chronic and acute neurological conditions.
The role also opens the procedural side of the specialty. You will have the opportunity to train in and perform Botox injections, occipital nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and carpal tunnel injections, plus exposure to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) programming. If you are an experienced Nurse Practitioner who wants to move into neurology, this is built for that transition: the mentorship is structured and the physicians expect to teach.
Why This Role Stands Out:- A schedule you can plan a life around - Monday through Friday, no nights, no weekends, no call, no travel
- Appointment lengths that respect the specialty - 60-minute new patient visits and 30-minute follow-ups instead of a packed template
- Real procedural training - injection therapies, nerve blocks, and DBS programming exposure, learned with physician support rather than thrown at you
- A genuine path into neurology - experienced Nurse Practitioners from other specialties are welcome, with structured mentorship to get you there
- Broad adult neurological case mix - from common headache and neuropathy presentations to more complex chronic disease management
- Collaborative, physician-supported practice - close access to neurologists while you build independent clinical judgment

- Strong clinical assessment skills and sound, independent medical decision-making
- A provider who values patient education, continuity, and individualized treatment planning
