Calling All Super-Providers: APRN/PA Surgical Assistance Needed!


Up to $15,000 Sign-on Free individual healthcare (medical & dental) Student loan repayment up to $25,000 from the state for eligible positions


Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, you get to flex your full scope of practice, and you're part of a team that actually loves what they do? If so, keep reading - we've got scrubs with your name on them.


We're looking for an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) or Physician Assistant (PA) to join our dynamic surgical team. This is a hands-on, sleeves-up role that covers inpatient surgical care - from first consults to last rounds (and everything in between).


What You'll Do:

  • Be the Sherlock Holmes of patient care: gather histories, do physicals, make diagnoses, and crack complex cases.
  • Handle admissions, rounds, discharges, and everything that keeps the surgical world spinning.
  • Order and interpret labs, imaging, and diagnostics like a pro.
  • Perform bedside procedures and wound care - your hands are as skilled as your brain!
  • Manage medications and give patients/families the info they need (minus the medical jargon).
  • Keep detailed documentation and collaborate with surgeons, nurses, techs, and the rest of the dream team.
  • Mentor newer providers and participate in quality improvement initiatives - help us get better every day.


Must-Haves:

  • Graduate of an accredited APRN or PA program.
  • Minimum 1 year of experience in a related setting.
  • Current NM license (APRN or PA with NCCPA certification).
  • CPR/BLS (within 30 days of start).
  • DEA license & NM prescriptive authority.
  • ACLS or PALS (within 30 days, if required by the role).


Bonus Points For:

  • 3+ years of surgical experience - you're practically a scalpel whisperer.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish or Native languages) - speak the language of care.
  • Pediatric Nursing Certification - if applicable, it's a nice extra badge.


What to Expect:

  • Medium lifting (20-50 lbs) - think "gym workout meets rounds."
  • Possible exposure to biohazards (don't worry, we provide PPE).
  • You'll need to maintain credentials and give 60-day notice if you ever decide to part ways (but we hope you won't!).


Why Join Us?

Because we believe advanced practice providers are the heartbeat of surgical care. You'll be valued, challenged, and supported - and yes, we have snacks in the breakroom.
