Cardiopulmonary Nurse Educator - Registered Nurse
About The Position
CVS Health is hiring a registered nurse to educate patients and caregivers about complex Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) therapies, including providing infusion training and clinical support. The role works within a specialized home-care nursing service and offers autonomy while helping patients initiate or transition to infused or inhaled therapies. The nurse develops one-on-one relationships with patients and caregivers and coordinates care with physicians, clinicians, pharmacy operations, and the sales team.

Occasional travel to the U.S. East Coast is expected approximately every 4–6 weeks, as are overnight visits. Travel by car and airplane may be required for patient visits, sales-team support, and training. The nurse must live within one hour of Luis Munoz Marin International Airport and participate in an on-call rotation approximately every 4–6 weeks, subject to staffing and business needs.
