Position Summary

We are seeking a Full-Time Nurse Practitioner (FNP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to join our team in Greeley, Colorado. This role is ideal for clinicians who value variety, autonomy, and meaningful community impact while practicing in a fast-paced, well-supported urgent care environment.

Clinicians at NextCare enjoy true work–life balance, including no after-hours tasks, flexible scheduling, and monthly schedules released in advance. Our full-time schedules are designed so clinicians are off more days than they work.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinical teams, strong peer relationships, clear practice guidelines, and accessible medical leadership who provide real-time guidance and mentorship.

  • Order and interpret diagnostic studies, including labs and imaging
  • Perform urgent care procedures such as suturing, splinting, and wound management
  • Clearly communicate diagnoses, treatment plans, and discharge instructions
  • Document patient care accurately and efficiently in the EHR
  • Code and bill services appropriately
  • Maintain productivity consistent with urgent care benchmarks
  • Practice in alignment with NextCare clinical standards and values

Required Qualifications

  • Active, unrestricted Colorado license as an NP or PA
  • NP: FNP certification (ANCC or AANP required)
  • PA: NCCPA certification required
  • Active DEA license (or ability to obtain)
  • Ability to treat patients of all ages
  • Active BLS certification
  • EHR proficiency
  • Willingness to work occasional weekends and holidays
  • DOT certification required or willingness to obtain (fees covered)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior urgent care, emergency medicine, or fast-track experience
  • Strong procedural skills (suturing, splinting, wound care)
  • Experience with initial x-ray interpretation prior to radiology over-read
