About the Opportunity

Alumni Healthcare Staffing is seeking an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) to provide critical coverage at a facility in Lubbock, Texas. This role is designed to support high-acuity inpatient needs, specifically within the Neuro-ICU, where the team manages complex neurology and neurosurgery patients.

The volume of procedures may vary, ranging from none to two or three per night over a seven-day period.\n Collaboration is key to this role. During the day, a physician is present on-site or available by phone, while nighttime coverage relies on physician availability via phone. You will also handle communication with internal floors and manage patient transfers, ensuring seamless care coordination across the unit.
