Description
Emergency Room Nurse Practitioner
On The Trail of the Ancients...
The Community - Crownpoint, NM
Crownpoint is in McKinley County, New Mexico, founded in 1912. The population was 2,278 at the 2010 census. It is on the Trails of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways. The Trail of the Ancients is a New Mexico Scenic Byway to prehistoric archaeological and geological sites of northwestern New Mexico. It provides insight into the lives of the Ancient Puebloan, Navajos, Utes and Apache people. Geological features include canyons, volcanic rock features, and sandstone buttes. Several of the sites are scenic and wilderness areas with recreational opportunities. In 1912, Crownpoint was founded by Samuel F. Stacher as an Indian Agency to serve the Navajo People in the Pueblo Bonito Agency of Northwestern New Mexico. A school house, agency office and power house were first built to accommodate future planned establishments.
Crownpoint Health Care Facility
The Crownpoint Health Care Facility serves a population of 20,000 Navajo people. The staff consists of primary care physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, at a 32 bed hospital. The daily inpatient load is nine; daily outpatient visits are 151; annual OB cases are 275; and annual ER cases number about 5,500.
Requirements (include but are not limited) - The Nurse Practitioner will be expected to be able to deal with acute/urgent issues such as toe nail removals, simple laceration repair, splinting of fractures and incision and drainage. However, at our facility, our fast track ER handles a large amount of what would be considered primary care, due to the limited availability of Adult Medicine primary care providers at this time. This includes urgent requests for referrals and medication refills. As such, the NP must be able to enter referrals appropriately into the HER and per service unit policy.
- The NP is required to be aware of and abide by service unit policy regarding chronic pain medication.
- In addition to diagnosing and treating medical conditions, the NP will complete all billing and encounter forms, including discharge instruction sheets. Charts must be completed within four (4) days of the patient encounter. The Clinical Director or Point of Contact will not be able to sign any time sheets unless the Medical Record Department confirms there are no chart deficiencies.
- NP agrees to attend ER staff huddles at 10am on normal work days.
- ER NPs may be assigned to participate in triage by performing brief medical screening exams in the triage room to assist patient flow as determined by the ER charge nurse.
Qualifications - Must have completed an advanced practice nurse training program.
- Must have a certification by a nationally recognized certifying body in the specialty (i.e. certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).
- Have and maintain a valid, unrestricted and unencumbered license in one of the 50 states in the U.S. or the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- Must have and maintain a current Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certification as approved by the American Heart Association (AHA). PALS, NRP, ALSO, and ATLS certifications may also be required.
