About The Position

NYNJ Psychiatric Associates is a fast growing & vibrant Psychiatric group practice that provides services in assisted living & long-term care facilities throughout NY & NJ. Our well-respected team has been providing services for 14 years and currently has 35 Nurse Practitioners on the team. Our growth, to become one of the largest providers in the state of NJ, has largely been organic & word of mouth.

Due to demand for our services, we are currently expanding in the state of NY.
