Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC)Hybrid. Ohana Psych operates offices in Honolulu (Oahu) and Hilo (Hawaii Island). Additional offices are targeted to open on Maui in December 2026 and on Kauai in March 2027.
This is not a fully remote position. The majority of clinical work is delivered by telepsychiatry from an approved, HIPAA-compliant Hawaii-based home office, but hybrid means in-person care is part of the job. Providers are expected to see patients in person at the Ohana Psych office serving their island. Where an Ohana Psych office is within reasonable commuting distance of your residence, in-office clinical blocks are a condition of employment.
If no office is yet open on your island, you will work telepsychiatry-primary until ours opens, with periodic travel to Honolulu or Hilo for in-person clinical blocks, onboarding, and team meetings; travel is supported by the practice.
Applicants must reside in the State of Hawaii and hold an unrestricted Hawaii APRN license with prescriptive authority.
Position SummaryYou will provide direct psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and/or adults across Hawaii in a hybrid model: a high-volume telepsychiatry practice paired with in-person clinical care at Ohana Psych sites. You will carry a defined panel, manage acute and chronic psychiatric conditions, prescribe and monitor psychotropic medications including controlled substances, and coordinate care with primary care, therapy, and community resources. Strong autonomy, structured workflows, and full back-office support let you focus on patient care.
