• Order and interpret diagnostic tests, develop treatment plans, and prescribe medications and therapies
• Partner closely with supervising physicians and the broader care team to deliver safe, high-quality, patient-centered care
• Bring clinical expertise and steady judgment to a fast-moving emergency environment

What You Bring

• MSN or DNP from an accredited program
• Current Illinois RN and APRN licensure
• National NP certification in your specialty (FNP, AGACNP, PMHNP, etc.)
• Current BLS and ACLS certifications (AHA or American Red Cross)
• DEA registration and Illinois controlled substance license
• Strong diagnostic and clinical decision-making skills
• Comfort with EMR systems and documentation
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across disciplines

Why Gateway Regional

• Competitive pay and performance-based incentives
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage (see full Benefits Guide)
• Employer-matched retirement savings plan
• Paid vacation and holidays
• Shift differentials
• A culture built on respect, integrity, and excellence - for patients and staff alike

We're a community hospital with a mission that goes beyond the job description: compassionate, personalized care, delivered by people who genuinely want to be here. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.
