You will provide patient focused care to help our patients feel better FAST! Boom! Services provided to the public include urgent care, primary medical care, telemedicine, and occupational medicine. The ideal applicant will be able to lead a small team while working in a high volume and fast-paced urgent care environment. This is an incredible opportunity for FNPs early in their career – including BRAND NEW GRADS! (Still haven’t taken boards? That’s okay!) Following our on-site hosted HQ orientation and training, you will have several training shifts with existing providers in one of our clinics. But the support doesn’t end there! From a complimentary pediatric urgent care CE course to an NP on-call to help you with clinical decision making as you grow into the role, the support we have to help YOU achieve ultimate career success as a provider is unmatched. This is an investment we are making in you because we believe that you can succeed. What else makes this opportunity unlike any other you may be scoping out? Utilize your FULL scope of practice! You are a provider who can handle anything – and due to the nature of urgent care, anything may walk through the door. We do whatever we can within the scope of practice for a patient, no matter the age. You will be able to treat babies, kids, adults, and geriatric patients alike. Few other positions will allow you to exercise the full scope of care your program and RN experience prepared you to practice.

Your small team of medical assistants are there to support you, but you are also a leader and professional role model for them! Many report that one of the most rewarding parts of this role is being able to grow and inspire medical assistants to further their medical career. Support our RURAL communities! MainStreet clinics service areas that need access to care. We are open 362 days a year because we know people still get sick on the weekends and don’t want to get stuck with a $1,500 ER bill. Since we care for communities with little access, most of our clinics qualify for tuition reimbursement grants or student loan reimbursement grants. This is a grant program funded by the state, and we are happy to support you in this application process to take advantage of these grant programs! This isn’t just a step in your career – it’s a rocket ship build that will give you the launchpad to whatever success you envision for yourself.
