Pelorus Elder & Behavioral Health is currently recruiting:

• To add one part-time or full-time Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join our thriving private practice, including 3 Psychiatrists and 30+ Psychiatric NP’s. 
• Family Medicine and Geriatric Nurse Practitioners are also welcome to appl
• New graduates are welcome to apply
• Seeking candidate for a minimum of 3 days/week.  

Part-time / Full-time position:

Duties are primarily located in Essex, Morris, and Passaic counties (greater Morristown, West Orange, Livingston, Wayne areas) 

The successful candidate will be responsible for initial and follow-up Psychiatric consults in select assisted living and skilled nursing facilities.

Daily patient encounters will be approximately between 11 to 16, depending on the mix of initial vs. follow-up services.   Only light clinical documentation is required - just initial and follow-up progress notes.  We use streamlined, one page note templates which facilitate an efficient workflow.  There is minimal bureaucracy or busy-work: no “H&P’s”, no “discharge summaries”, no “treatment plans”, no “team rounds”.     

All of our clinicians perform the exact same duties, so together we have refined our processes to be as efficient and pleasant as possible.  There are no hospital-based services, no admissions, no discharges, minimal administrative responsibilities beyond the described clinical documentation, and billing submission.

Participation in our telephone-based on-call schedule will consist of about 1 weeknight in 14 and less than one weekend/month.  Call is via phone only.  There are no on-call rounds, no admissions (or admission orders), no discharges (or discharge orders).   Phone calls during on-call shift are infrequent: during most on-call shifts, there are zero phone calls received.

Daily work schedule is flexible, position affords much autonomy/independence – but at the same time, support and assistance is always available to you from our three psychiatrists and colleagues.  

Experience prescribing and monitoring psychotropic medications is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate. 

Compensation:   We offer very competitive compensation – salary from $135,000 and upward (based on experience/resume), prorated for part time schedule, with annual increases, and available productivity bonuses, malpractice coverage, as well as the option of full health benefits (including dental and vision) and a retirement plan for full time employees, 4 weeks PTO, 3 CME days with stipend and/or reimbursement for license renewals, and national Holidays off.
