Part-time Advanced Practice Nurse

Family Nurse Practitioner

National University's School of Health Professions, in collaboration with the School of Education, invites applications for a uniquely rewarding Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) position within a long-term, grant-funded initiative serving elementary school communities across San Diego.

This role is ideal for an FNP who values meaningful patient interaction, interdisciplinary teamwork, and community-centered care. You will join a highly collaborative, close-knit group of healthcare professionals who are passionate about equitable access, preventive care, and whole-family wellbeing.

Position Highlights

• Part-time, flexible scheduling: Work two-three days per week, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
• Family-centered clinical practice: Provide care not only to elementary school students, but also to their parents and siblings. A rare opportunity to support holistic family health in a school-based setting.
• Low daily patient volume: Typically 5–8 patients per day (with the higher end occurring infrequently), allowing for 45-minute visits and the ability to deliver thorough, relationship-based care.
• Integrated health education: When clinic volume is lower, engage with students in the classroom, teaching preventive care, mental health awareness, and the relationship between physical and emotional wellbeing.
• Community impact: Participate in one Saturday Community Health Fair per month on a rotating basis, as well as occasional after-school community events. Weekly hours flex accordingly—for example, working two 4-hour days during the same week to accommodate Saturday or after-school coverage.
• Hybrid work potential: On-site coverage from 8:00–8:45 a.m. start time through 3:00 p.m., with remaining hours available to be completed remotely.
• Grant-funded stability: Funding is secured through 2029, offering long-term consistency within a mission-driven program.

What Makes This Role Special

• A supportive team environment with strong communication, shared resources, and a true commitment to community health.
• The ability to practice at a thoughtful pace, building real relationships with families.
