About The Position

The University of Iowa Health Care Walk-In Clinics is seeking an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) to primarily support our Iowa City/Corridor Walk-In Clinics (Urgent Care/Quick Care Clinics). Our ARNPs perform direct patient care, including diagnostic and therapeutic services. UI Walk-in Clinics provide care to try to save our patients a trip to the emergency room, and are open evenings, weekends, and some holidays. Our clinics assess a wide variety of patients from newborn to geriatric, ensuring patient care standards are met and providing access to additional care options not normally found at a traditional walk-in clinic, including X-rays, IV fluids, and stitches. This position is part of a dynamic and fast-paced environment, rich with opportunities for learning and growth. We utilize a multidisciplinary approach to patient care that encourages teamwork between multiple disciplinary teams to provide the most comprehensive care to our patients. This position will mainly support our Iowa City/Corridor sites but could also support other service lines/clinics based on clinical needs/hours, including Quad Cities clinic sites.
