We will be expanding our nursing home consult service and would like an NP who doesn't mind seeing patients in more than one setting in one day, and who has good people skills and the ability to work autonomously in settings that may initially be less familiar with palliative care, with easy access to me as a back up.

The salary is competitive and benefit package pretty standard. A transparent bonus formula is based on productivity and can significantly increase salary.
