About the Role

We’re seeking an Attending Nurse Practitioner to provide comprehensive, proactive medical management for residents across long-term care, ventilator units, behavioral health units, and subacute/post-acute rehab.

  • Aggressively manage chronic and complex conditions; respond promptly to changes in status and emergent situations using appropriate modalities (e.g., IV diuretics, antibiotics, fluids, TPN) and respiratory therapies.

  • Proactively prevent avoidable hospitalizations through early intervention, vigilant surveillance, and effective clinical decision-making.

  • Collaborate with facility nursing staff, rehabilitation teams, leadership, and the attending/collaborating physician to coordinate and optimize care plans.

  • Discuss and manage goals of care and palliative care options with patients and families; support shared decision-making.

  • Promote healthy aging and wellness through preventive care and proactive treatment plans.

  • Document thoroughly and promptly in the EMR; maintain high standards for clinical documentation.

  • Actively participate in interdisciplinary care meetings and care-planning processes.

Qualifications
  • Board certification as an Adult, Geriatric, or Family Nurse Practitioner (AGNP, GNP, or FNP).

  • Active, unrestricted NP license in the state of practice; national certification required.

  • Current BLS (BCLS) and ACLS certifications.

  • Prior experience in long-term care, subacute rehab, ventilator care, or chronic disease management preferred.

  • Strong clinical assessment and diagnostic skills; familiarity with ventilator care, IV therapy, and post-acute protocols preferred.

  • Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills; proficiency with EMR systems.

  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with physicians, nursing, rehabilitation, and administrative staff.

Desired Qualities
  • Independent and self-directed with confident, decisive clinical judgment.

  • Effective communicator with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams.

  • Reliable, punctual, and hardworking; detail-oriented with strong documentation habits.

  • Proactive and assertive in clinical management; adaptable to fast-paced, diverse clinical environments.

  • Passionate about elderly care and chronic disease management.

  • Comfortable discussing sensitive topics, including goals of care and palliative needs.

  • Strong team player and collaborator.
