How to hire a part time nurse practitioner in family medicine?
I just joined a family medicine private practice (I'm an MD; I didn't see any rules prohibiting me from posting with this question, but if I was wrong I apologize - please delete). I read on another subreddit about a unique model where nurse practitioners do only medicare wellness visits. I am drowning in medicare wellness visits and this really piqued my interest. I only have 2 extra slots in clinic, so this would be a 4 or 8 hour a week position. But I envision the nurse practitioner only doing Medicare Wellness visits, no additional concerns addressed during the visit, no call, no lab follow up, nothing.
I wanted to see if anyone on this sub had any insight into whether:
- This sort of part time, hourly position would be even remotely attractive to any nurse practitioners in general? Are most nurse practitioners interested in full time, salaried work?
- Where one posts job positions for nurse practitioners? Is there a website or facebook group or professional organization to contact?
- How does one find out the hourly rate for nurse practitioners in their area? Is there a website.
I apologize for being completely clueless. I earnestly want to make this happen, but I don't know where to start. Am I way off base? Is this probably not viable?
Edit: Thank you so much for your responses. This gave me great starting points and I am feeling really hopeful!
