7P–7A Nights • ~14 Shifts/Month • Low Overnight Admission Volume • No Procedures Required

Rhino Medical is leading the charge seeking experienced Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants for an ongoing Hospital Medicine Nocturnist locum tenens opportunity in Plainview, Texas .

This is a dedicated overnight Hospital Medicine role designed for an experienced inpatient APP comfortable independently managing hospitalized adults with physician backup available overnight .

Coverage is anticipated to begin in November 2026 , with approximately 14 shifts per month available through the end of the year and potential ongoing need.

For an experienced Hospital Medicine APP looking for meaningful block coverage without a procedure-heavy nocturnist workload, this offers an attractive combination of 12-hour nights, relatively limited overnight admissions, Epic EMR, and physician support .

• Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant
• Locum Tenens

• 1 APP onsite overnight
• Shift: 7:00 PM–7:00 AM
• Daytime hospitalist available on night call for APP support
• Approximately 14 shifts per month anticipated
• Approximately 1–3 admissions overnight .

This is a true nocturnist role rather than a rotating day/night assignment.

Practice Environment
The Hospital Medicine program supports an acute-care hospital with:

• 45 Med/Surg Beds
• Open ICU
• Epic EMR
• Approximately 9–11 average daytime census
• Approximately 3–9 daytime admissions
• Approximately 1–3 nighttime admissions

Hospital Medicine admits patients across the facility, including surgical and orthopedic patients.

The hospital has a substantial range of diagnostic and specialty resources: 24/7 laboratory services and onsite Radiology, Cardiology, General Surgery, Orthopedics, OB/GYN, Anesthesiology, Radiology, Pediatrics, MRI and Ultrasound.

Clinical Scope
The nocturnist APP should be comfortable with:

• Cross-coverage of established inpatients
• Acute changes in patient condition
• Clinical assessment and treatment planning
• Coordination with the overnight physician and Emergency Department
• Epic documentation and order management
• Appropriate escalation of higher-acuity patients

The Emergency Medicine physician initially responds to Rapid Responses and transitions care to Hospital Medicine when appropriate. Hospitalists are responsible for codes.

No procedures are required.

Intubation, central-line placement, and ventilator management are considered useful skills but are not mandatory , procedures are described as uncommon, and the Emergency Medicine team can provide procedural support when needed.
