About The Position

This role provides a unique blend of inpatient and outpatient care, with a balanced schedule of two 12-hour hospital shifts (Labor & Delivery) and two 8-hour clinic days each week across locations including AOP, Stony Point, and GreenGate. The team provides 24/7 in-house coverage through a shift-based model, offering a dynamic and collaborative practice environment. Advanced practice registered nurses manifest a high level of expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of the complex responses of individuals, families, or communities to actual or potential health problems, prevention of illness and injury, maintenance of wellness, and provision of comfort. The advanced practice registered nurse has a master’s or doctoral education concentrating in a specific area of advanced nursing practice, had supervised practice during graduate education, and has ongoing clinical experiences. Advanced practice registered nurses continue to perform many of the same interventions used in basic nursing practice. The difference in this practice relates to a greater depth and breadth of knowledge, a greater degree of synthesis of data, and complexity of skills and intervention.” ANA’s Scope and Standards of Advanced Practice Registered Nursing (1996).
