Geriatric Pain Management NP​/PA – New Grads ; Workweek Outpatient

A growing pain management practice in Sacramento is hiring NPs and PAs to provide specialized pain and palliative care to geriatric residents across skilled nursing facilities in the area. You'll round on the same residents week after week, building individualized treatment plans, managing pain medications, and coordinating with facility staff and physicians. New positions open as additional facilities come on board, so this is a growth role alongside a growing practice.

New graduates genuinely welcome with formal onboarding; 5+ years of relevant RN experience also counts. Malpractice insurance with tail coverage included, which is uncommon and protects you from claims filed after you leave.
