Description
If you’re ready to step away from the demands of hospital-based nursing and into a role where you can make a lasting impact, consider joining Spokane Regional Health District as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP). This is an opportunity to support individuals on their path to recovery from opioid addiction while working in a collaborative, mission-driven public health environment.
Located at our Treatment Services facility, this position offers a consistent Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. schedule, providing the work-life balance often missing in traditional clinical settings. With a starting wage of $70.79 per hour and a comprehensive benefits package, this role combines meaningful work with professional stability and support.
Some Essential Functions Include:
- Evaluates and assess patients using various clinical tools such as vital signs, physical examinations, and COWS to determine type of MAT medication for treatment and dosage amount of MAT medication
- Performs initial intake medical examinations to determine medical appropriateness and potential safety risks associated with administration of MAT medications
- Meets with patients when there is a medical concern from fellow staff members that has the potential to be a safety risk for the patient to assess appropriateness for continued MAT
- Assesses any and all patients who were recently discharged from the hospital to verify their last dose of medication related to MAT and determine if they meet medical criteria to continue with MAT
- Reviews all intake laboratory results for potential health conditions or complications that require treatment and/or impact the patient’s ability to engage in MAT services
