Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Position 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
Pelorus is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. We are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where all employment decisions are made on an individual basis without regard to characteristics protected by federal, state, or local law.
Pelorus believes that supporting a respectful and inclusive workplace is critical to our success. Pelorus is committed to making our application process to all applicants and will provide reasonable accommodation upon request as required.
