Nurse Practitioner – Rheumatology - New Grads Welcomed

Discover a rewarding career where you can make a lasting impact on patients' lives.
Our Rheumatology team is growing, and we're looking for a compassionate, motivated Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join us in our Plant City and Riverview locations. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside an experienced physician and a supportive care team in an outpatient setting, helping patients manage chronic conditions and improve their quality of life.

What You'll Do:

• Conduct comprehensive patient evaluations, including history, physical examinations, and review of diagnostic results.
• Partner with our rheumatologist to evaluate and care for patients with autoimmune and musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, and more.
• Order and interpret labs, imaging, and other tests to support clinical decisions.
• Develop, manage, and monitor individualized treatment plans, including prescribing medications, including disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologic therapies, in accordance with state regulations and collaborative practice agreements.
• Develop individualized treatment plans and monitor patient progress.
• Provide patient and family education regarding disease process, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and self-care strategies.
• Collaborate with rheumatologist, nurses, medical assistants, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated, patient-centered care.
• Perform joint injections and aspirations (training provided if needed).
• Document patient encounters and maintain accurate, timely medical records in the electronic health record (EHR) system.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives, continuing education, and professional development activities.
• Other duties as assigned by collaborating physician.

What We're Looking For:

• Licensed Nurse Practitioner (Master's or Doctorate) with national certification (ANCC or AANP).
• State NP license with prescriptive authority (or eligibility).
• Background in rheumatology, internal medicine, or a related specialty is a plus — but we're happy to provide training if you're eager to learn.
• Strong clinical skills, but just as importantly, strong communication and compassion.
• A collaborative spirit and a desire to build long-term relationships with patients.
• Willing to travel to two offices: Plant City and Riverview, FL

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• No nights, weekends, or call — enjoy work-life balance in an outpatient setting.
• A collegial team that values teaching, mentorship, and shared decision-making.
• Competitive salary plus productivity incentives.
• Comprehensive benefits package: health, dental, vision, retirement, CME allowance, and paid time off.
• The chance to grow your career in a highly specialized field that makes a tangible difference in patients' lives.
