We are looking for an experienced Surgical Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant to join the Cardiothoracic Surgery team in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
The Cardiovascular surgery department in Northwest Wisconsin is a progressive, innovative thoracic, vascular and cardiac surgery practice. The practice consists of three surgeons, 4 Operative NP/PAs and 2 non-operative NP/PAs. Due to a retirement, the practice is recruiting for an operative NP/PA to maintain current staffing for this busy practice.
The current staffing model consists of 4 physician assistants who function primarily in the operating room (first assist, conduit harvesting) and inpatient(ICU/Step-down rounds). The other individuals function in a nonsurgical role concentrating primarily on inpatient rounds and the outpatient clinic practice.
This position is an operative position and therefore the primary focus is acting as a first assist in the operating room for Cardiothoracic cases and coverage of both non-ICU inpatient and surgical call. Secondary responsibilities include hospital rounds, consults/discharges on hospital patients, and postoperative clinic visits.
During the selection process you may participate in an OnDemand (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience. During the OnDemand interview, a question will appear on your screen, and you will have time to consider each question before responding. You will have the opportunity to re-record your answer to each question – Mayo Clinic will only see the final recording. The complete interview will be reviewed by a Mayo Clinic staff member and you will be notified of next steps.
Two years of NP of PA experience preferred; motivated new graduates may be considered.
Acute Care Nurse Practitioner: Masters-prepared graduate of an accredited school of nursing and Nurse Practitioner program. Current WI RN and APRN license and certification as an ACNP.
