NP / PA - Geriatric SNF | Launch a Pain Program | New Grads Welcome

Job Description

A pain management practice opening its first Ohio market is hiring NPs and PAs to provide geriatric pain and palliative care across Cincinnati skilled nursing facilities. You'll be one of the first providers here, helping set how the practice runs in Ohio while caring for the same residents week after week. It's dedicated pain care for a population that rarely gets it. The practice wants providers who have done this before, with backgrounds in pain management, ortho, physiatry, SNF rounding, or hospice. New graduates are considered with RN experience in ortho, pain management, SNF, or high-volume ER. Malpractice with tail coverage is included, and more positions open as the practice adds facilities.

You're paid for every visit you complete: $10 each, with at least $150 guaranteed at every facility you work at in a day. Visits are short, focused pain follow-ups of about 10 minutes, not full workups. At a typical 40 to 50 patients a day, that's roughly $400 to $500. Days spread across smaller facilities can pay more, since the minimum applies at each one.
