About This Role
What You'll Do
You're the clinical presence patients rely on from day one. As a Nurse Practitioner at New Season, you'll handle physical exams for every patient on admission, plus their annual physicals and any health screenings that come up. You'll review lab results with them directly, making sure nothing gets lost in translation. When medication changes are needed, you issue the orders and follow state rules to the letter.
Readmit exams fall to you too. And if a patient has a medical issue outside of addiction care, you're the one referring them to a primary care provider. You'll also be available when staff needs backup for emergency management of patient care.
