We are a psychiatric and mental health practice in Las Vegas, Nevada, looking for a Family Nurse Practitioner to join our team one to two days per week at our Southwest location. This is a part time, 1099 independent contractor position. In-person work at our Southwest office is required.

You will provide primary care services to our existing psychiatric patient population, including acute sick visits, chronic disease management for conditions like hypertension and diabetes, medication checks, and pre-op clearances.
