Shift into high gear with care that never sleeps—join us on the night side of healing!

Are you ready to step into a role that places you at the center of patient care? As a Trauma/General Surgery APP at UK HealthCare , you’ll be an essential member of our multidisciplinary team, focused on providing exceptional, compassionate care to critically and acutely ill adults in our ICU, progressive care, and acute care areas. This role is a unique opportunity to grow your expertise, positively impact patient outcomes, and be part of a supportive team that values your skill and dedication.

What You’ll Do:

  • Patient Care: Manage patient care from ICU admission through step-down and discharge, delivering evidence-based practices to ensure safe, high-quality care.
  • Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work closely with physicians, nurses, and other specialists to make well-informed clinical decisions.
  • Comprehensive Role: Serve patients not only during their hospital stay but also, on occasion, in the outpatient setting during follow-up appointments, ensuring continuity of care.
  • Clinical Excellence: Apply advanced medical and nursing knowledge with clinical and technical expertise to handle critical care interventions confidently.
  • Documentation & Professional Growth: Ensure accurate, timely documentation and take responsibility for ongoing development, advancing your skill set and knowledge base.

What You Bring:

  • Required Education:
  • Nurse Practitioners: MSN
  • Physician Assistants: BS
  • Certification/Licensing:
  • APRN with Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) Certification, or enrollment in Post Master’s ACNP program within one year of hire.
  • Physician Assistant-Certified (PA-C).
  • Skills: We value initiative, clinical judgment, and teamwork. Your ability to engage with patients compassionately, communicate effectively, and respond confidently to various situations will make you a vital part of our team.

Why Choose Us?

We know the challenges of working night shifts, but we also know the impact you’ll make here! You’ll work 7x 12-hour shifts per pay period (biweekly), giving you time to balance work and life while focusing on the patients who need you most. Whether you’re just starting out or bringing years of experience, we provide the resources, community, and support for you to thrive.
