Psychiatric Nurse PractitionerPosition description:The successful candidate will be responsible for initial and follow-up Psychiatric consults in select assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.
Daily patient encounters will be approximately between 11 to 16, depending on the mix of initial vs. follow-up services. Only light clinical documentation is required - just initial and follow-up progress notes. There is minimal bureaucracy or busy-work: no H&P's, no "discharge summaries", no "treatment plans", no "treatment team meetings" or "rounds". We use streamlined, one page note templates which facilitate an efficient workflow.
All of our clinicians perform the exact same duties, so together we have refined our processes to be as efficient and pleasant as possible. There are no hospital-based services, no admissions, no discharges, minimal administrative responsibilities beyond the described clinical documentation, and billing submission.
Participation in our telephone-based on-call schedule will consist of about 1 weeknight in 7 and less than one weekend/month. Call is via phone only. There are no on-call rounds, no admissions (or admission orders), no discharges (or discharge orders). Phone calls during on-call shift are infrequent: during most on-call shifts, there are zero phone calls received.
Daily work schedule is flexible, position affords much autonomy/independence - but at the same time, support and assistance is always available to you from our three psychiatrists and colleagues.
Experience prescribing and monitoring psychotropic medications is very strongly preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate. PMHNP certification is required in Pennsylvania, and is ideal in NJ (but Family & Geriatric are acceptable in NJ).
Compensation:
- We offer very competitive compensation - FT salary from $130,000 and upward (based on experience/resume), with annual increases, and available productivity bonuses, as well as the option of full health benefits and a retirement plan for FT position, 4 weeks PTO, 3 CME days with stipend and/or reimbursement for license renewals, and national Holidays off.
Requirements- MD APN license, MD CDS, NJ DEA, AANP certification (ideally PMHNP, will consider FNP and Geriatric NP for MD positions)
- Active and unrestricted license
- Effective oral and written communication in English
- Basic proficiency with technology, including electronic health records (EHR)
- Strong organizational and documentation skills, with attention to regulatory compliance
- Ability to provide in-person services at assigned facilities
- Ability to walk, stand, and move between patient rooms and offices within the facility throughout the day
We are a very strong, successful, and expanding group. You will have the full support of 3 Psychiatrists, as well as the collegiality of our current NP's and PA's as well. We are looking for the right candidate to join our team and share in our continued growth!
