Pain Management NP / PA (Geriatrics) | New Grads Welcome | $100/hr + Bonus | Tail Coverage at NPHire in San Jose, California

Pain Management Nurse Practitioner Or Physician Assistant

A growing pain management practice is hiring Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants to provide specialized pain and palliative care to geriatric residents across skilled nursing facilities in Richmond and the East Bay. Geriatric pain in SNFs is chronically undertreated - you'd be the provider who actually assesses and manages it, following the same residents over time rather than cycling through a rotating panel. New graduates welcome with structured onboarding; 5+ years of relevant RN experience also counts. Malpractice with tail coverage included. Practice actively adding facilities - room to grow.
