About The Position

The University of Iowa Health Care is hiring multiple Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) to provide direct patient care, including diagnostic and therapeutic services, in QuickCare and Urgent Care walk-in clinics.

Clinics are open evenings, weekends, and some holidays. The ARNP exercises autonomy in medical decision-making and services provided, while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team.

The position is salaried, with variable percent time and schedule, and travel to other clinical locations based on clinical needs and hours.
