Nurse Practitioner, Hourly, Temporary

 

Exciting Opportunity at SSU!

Physician, Hourly Intermittent 

Are you a compassionate and motivated Nurse Practitioner looking for a better work/life balance and the chance to make a real impact? Do you love connecting with patients, focusing on prevention, and sharing your knowledge through health education? Imagine working with a vibrant and diverse student community on a beautiful, energetic college campus—where you’ll have the time to truly care, build relationships, and collaborate with an amazing team of campus partners!

If the idea of working only as your schedule allows and having ample time for family, friends, hobbies, and personal interests appeals to you, this position is for you. No on-call responsibilities or long hours are required! This might be an ideal position for someone who wants to move away from full-time work but would still like to provide medical care on their own terms without the challenges of private practice or working in large, intensive systems.

Sonoma State University (SSU) is seeking a skilled nurse practitioner to join our team at the Student Health Center (SHC) as we continue to develop and reinforce our culture of excellence. If you are looking for a fulfilling career with outstanding benefits, we encourage you to apply.
