Infectious Disease Nurse Practitioner Needed!!

KOPA, Inc. is looking for a Nurse Practitioner to diagnose and treat health conditions, as well as promote good health practices. This position will be at the newly remodeled Avante at Mt. Dora.

Skills:

Proven experience as Nurse Practitioner in a skilled nursing facility, minimum 1 year of supervisory experience
Expertise in primary care, acute care and chronic care practices
