Geriatric Endocrinology NP (~$150K + Bonus | No Weekends)

📍 Cincinnati, OH | Full-Time | $130,000 to $150,000 | No Weekends or After-Hours Coverage | Monday to FridayJob OverviewA growing geriatric endocrinology practice is expanding into 12 new nursing home and skilled nursing buildings across the Cincinnati area. It’s hiring one to two full-time Nurse Practitioners to launch them and build specialty diabetes and thyroid care from the ground up. As the primary clinical decision maker for a portfolio of five to six long-term care facilities, you’ll start in brand-new buildings and build your own patient panel, with no one else’s panel to inherit. Your visits focus on diabetes and thyroid care, not the five or six issues packed into a typical primary care visit. A collaborating physician is always one call, text, FaceTime, or email away. The ramp is gradual. You start with one to two facilities and grow to five or six. In a new building you’ll see about 7 to 10 patients a day until every resident has been seen, then settle into about 30 patients a day across your facilities. The schedule is Monday through Friday with a flexible start time, no weekends, and no after-hours coverage. Endocrinology experience is a plus, not a requirement. The practice layers its endocrine training on top of your baseline diabetes and insulin knowledge.Key ResponsibilitiesProvide on-site diabetes and thyroid care to residents in nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, and long-term care centers, including new patient visits and follow-upsManage insulin and other diabetes and thyroid medications, and adjust treatment plans based on each resident’s progressAct as the primary clinical decision maker for your assigned facilities, consulting the collaborating physician when you need supportEducate patients on proper diabetes care, and their families when patients can’t make decisions on their ownBuild working relationships with facility leadership, directors of nursing, and nursing staff, adapting your communication style to each buildingFollow the practice’s standardized processes while adapting to how each facility operatesRepresent the practice as an ambassador at every facility you serveMaintain accurate, timely clinical documentationQualificationsActive Ohio Nurse Practitioner license (AGACNP, AGNP, AGPCNP, ANP, or FNP preferred)At least 1 year of experience as an NP in long-term care, skilled nursing, or post-acute care (2 years ideal).
