    • To add one full-time Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to join our thriving private practice, consisting of 3 Board Certified Psychiatrists, 7 Psychiatric NP’s, and 4 PA’s.
    • We would alternatively consider hiring a part-time or per-diem candidate for a minimum of 2 days/week, which would include Friday, plus two of Tues/Wed/Thurs
    • New graduates are welcome 

    Full time position:

    • Duties are primarily located in Mercer and Somerset Counties (i.e. Hamilton, Princeton, Montgomery, Hillsborough), possibly some Middlesex or Camden County depending on candidate’s location.

    • Daily patient encounters will be approximately between 11 to 15, depending on the mix of initial vs. follow-up services.   Only light clinical documentation is required - just initial and follow-up progress notes.  There is minimal bureaucracy or busy-work: no H&P’s, no “discharge summaries”, no “treatment plans”, no “treatment team meetings” or “rounds”.  We use streamlined, one page note templates which facilitate an efficient workflow.    
    • 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 7 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 $125,000 and upward (based on experience/resume), with annual increases, and available productivity bonuses, as well as the option of full health benefits, a retirement plan, 4 weeks PTO, 3 CME days with stipend and/or reimbursement for license renewals, and national Holidays off.

    Dear Suzanne,

    Here is an opportunity for you to consider or pass along to a friend or colleague. You can opt out of these emails, however keep in mind that in so doing, you are opting out of ALL APN-NJ emails.

Our vendors are financially helping to support our mission, so if we can help them find a job candidate, that would be a win win!

    Best,
    Suzanne
