Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

Join a small, family-run hospital practice in Denver as an NP or PA, the kind of team where some NPs have stayed for over a decade. You'll care for medically complex adults across LTAC, acute rehab, and hospital backup units in skilled nursing facilities, with 3+ months of physician mentorship to start. The role comes with a 3-day workweek, schedules that bend around family life where possible, phone-only call, and a fully paid CME week every year, airfare included. As the hospital backup unit program expands, there's room to grow with it.
