Job Description
📍 Santa Ana, CA | 3 to 4 Days/Week | $75 to $85/hr | Established Patient Base, No Panel-Building | 1 to 2 Saturdays/Month
Job Overview
Join a long-established, family-run family medicine practice in Santa Ana, CA as a bilingual (Spanish) Family Nurse Practitioner, and start from day one with an existing, loyal patient base. The practice is led by a physician with 27 years in the community. Many patients are multi-generational families, and the physician personally introduces you to his long-time patients. His schedule is full, so you take the overflow instead of building a panel. You’ll provide primary care to patients from children to older adults, seeing about 10 to 20 patients a day. MAs do blood draws in-house, and AI-assisted notes take about three minutes each. Clinic days run about 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, break until 2:00 PM, and wrap by about 5:30 PM. As you settle in, you’ll take on Wednesdays as the clinic’s sole clinician. You choose 1099 or W-2. The practice is about 15 minutes from the Newport Beach coast.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide primary care for patients from children through older adults: wellness visits, chronic disease management, preventive care, and sick visits
- Provide basic women’s health services, including Pap smears, and diagnose and treat common conditions such as UTIs and STIs
- See about 10 to 20 patients per day, growing as you and the patients get comfortable
- Order in-clinic lab draws (A1C, lipid panels, UA) for MAs to collect during the visit
- Document visits in the EMR using AI-assisted tools for fee-for-service, PPO, and Medi-Cal patients
- Communicate with Spanish-speaking patients and families in Spanish
- Work with the MAs and front-office team to keep the schedule moving
- Over time, cover Wednesdays as the sole clinician
- Optionally support the practice’s physician-led medical weight-loss program
Qualifications
- Active California nurse practitioner license
- Board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)
- Fluent in Spanish
- At least 2 years of experience as an NP in primary care or family medicine
- Able to see patients independently at a steady pace with few questions
- Available for 1 to 2 Saturdays per month
- Interest in obesity medicine
- Active Medi-Cal provider enrollment strongly preferred (if you aren’t enrolled, the practice starts the process and you can see patients while it’s pending)
Schedule & Compensation
- $75 to $85/hour, based on experience
- Your choice of 1099 contractor or W-2 employee
- Annual bonus based on the clinic’s year-end performance, not individual productivity
- 3 to 4 days a week, plus 1 to 2 Saturdays a month
- Clinic hours about 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM, with a midday break
- About 10 to 20 patients/day | AI-assisted notes (about 3 minutes each) | In-house blood draws
- Malpractice covered under the clinic’s umbrella policy
- Licensure renewal reimbursement
- Healthcare stipend toward your monthly premium for full-time providers (amount discussed at offer)
