About the Facility
This health system maintains the clinical infrastructure and established protocols necessary to support inpatient neurology coverage. The facility operates within a structured inpatient environment designed to facilitate quality neurological and stroke care delivery. Staffing includes 1-2 on-site neurologists available to collaborate with the advanced clinician throughout each coverage period.
About the Facility Location
Alabama offers clinicians on assignment access to a range of outdoor and coastal attractions throughout the state. Gulf Shores Beach, opportunities for kayaking, water sports, and wildlife experiences along the Gulf Coast, and Fort Morgan - a masonry fort built between 1819 and 1833 - are among the available destinations. Inland, clinicians will find historical sites, motorsports museums, and scenic natural landmarks, along with hiking, biking, and paddling trails, dining, and cultural experiences rooted in Southern tradition.
About the Clinicians Workday
The neurology nurse practitioner will provide inpatient coverage Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, in a solo advanced clinician capacity working alongside 1-2 neurologists. Clinical responsibilities encompass general and stroke neurology, including daily patient rounding, responding to stroke alert calls within 15 minutes, and managing emergent consults. The clinician must be proficient in independently conducting neurological and physical examinations, evaluating complex medical histories, and formulating differential diagnoses. Additional duties include ordering, collecting, and interpreting diagnostic tests; creating and managing medication plans; rounding in the ICU as needed; and coordinating referrals, discharges, and patient and family education. Board certification, ACLS, BLS, and prescriptive authority are required. An active state license or IMLC is required, and inpatient neurology experience with stroke experience is preferred.
