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 St. Cloud.

We will be providing essential care to a very compromised group of individuals who do not require acute care, however, due to specialized infection control needs of these residents, many other skilled nursing facilities are unable to provide this level of care and therefore these residents are in need of temporary placement.
