About The Position

CVS Health is hiring a Registered Nurse as a Cardiopulmonary Patient Educator to educate patients and caregivers about complex Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) therapies. The role includes initiating patients on oral, inhaled, subcutaneous, and infused PAH therapies and providing clinical support.

This is a direct-hire, full-time position with an anticipated schedule of 40 hours per week. Approximately 80% of the time is spent traveling to patients in person to teach administration of infused medications; approximately 20% is spent teaching oral or inhaled medications by video conference from home. Travel is by car and airplane, includes overnight visits, and covers patients within a two-hour drive of Tulsa, throughout Oklahoma and into Texas, and occasionally across the Western Region, including Washington and Oregon. The role participates in an on-call rotation as staffing and business needs require.
