Position Overview

The Integrative Health and Wellness Clinic is actively seeking a dedicated Nurse Practitioner (NP) to become a vital part of our outpatient practice at the Center for Advanced Cardiac Care (CACC) located in Jamaica, New York. The NP will operate under the guidance of the Chief Nurse Practitioner and the direction of the CACC Medical Director within the Division of Cardiology. This full-time, onsite position is ideal for an experienced professional looking to make a significant impact in the field of cardiology.

About the Organization

Integrative Health and Wellness Clinic is committed to delivering high-quality healthcare tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our CACC offers a comprehensive approach to managing cardiovascular health, emphasizing both preventive care and innovative treatments. Our team includes a variety of healthcare professionals committed to providing holistic and integrative health solutions to enhance patient well-being.

Work Environment

As a full-time Nurse Practitioner, you will work onsite in a dynamic outpatient clinic environment. The role is characterized by a collaborative team atmosphere where you will work alongside Physicians, NP peers, Registered Nurses, Social Workers, Nutritionists, Pharmacists, and specialists. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to ensure holistic care for patients while maintaining a focus on patient-centered strategies that drive positive health outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Your daily responsibilities will include but are not limited to the following:

• Conducting thorough patient assessments by obtaining detailed patient histories and performing comprehensive physical examinations.
• Ordering, interpreting diagnostic tests, and effectively diagnosing and managing both acute and chronic health conditions specific to cardiology.
• Formulating and implementing individualized, goal-directed care plans that address health maintenance and propose appropriate medical and nursing interventions in accordance with established protocols.
• Collaborating closely with attending Physicians to adjust treatment plans based on patient progress and feedback.
• Providing education and counseling to patients and their caregivers regarding disease management strategies to promote self-management and adherence to treatment plans outside the clinical setting.
• Coordinating hospital admissions, working with the inpatient team for safe and effective patient discharges.
• Triage and manage patient calls alongside the NP and Nursing team while ensuring smooth communication with referring Providers.
• Documenting all patient interactions accurately within the outpatient Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.
• Engaging in research initiatives by reviewing and applying contemporary clinical evidence and best practices in daily patient care to enhance overall clinical outcomes.
• Participating actively in quality improvement initiatives and fostering a therapeutic, consumer-focused environment.

Patient Population / Client Focus

The CACC focuses primarily on patients with a range of cardiovascular conditions, including but not limited to advanced heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and those who are post-heart transplant. You will work closely with patients undergoing advanced therapies such as outpatient intravenous or inhaled medication support, or those receiving mechanical circulatory assistance, requiring a deep understanding of their complex care needs.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, candidates must possess the following qualifications:

• A Master’s degree in Nursing, specifically as a Nurse Practitioner specializing in adult care.
• Current New York State Registered Professional Nurse and Nurse Practitioner licenses.
• Board certification by the appropriate NP board.
• Current certifications in Basic Life Support (BCLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), DEA, and NPI.
• Proficiency in electronic medical records, and familiarity with Microsoft Office applications including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Preferred Experience

While a minimum of two years' experience in a hospital or outpatient setting is required, preference will be given to candidates with experience specifically in cardiology. Experience in managing advanced heart failure cases and familiarity with outpatient therapeutic interventions for complex cardiology patients will significantly enhance your candidacy.

Compensation and Benefits

The Nurse Practitioner position offers a competitive salary range of USD 120,000 to 220,000 annually, commensurate with your experience and qualifications. In addition, we provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance plans, a retirement savings plan, generous paid time off, and continuing education opportunities.
