Description
I am looking to hire an LPN or RN full time to work directly with me in my concierge internal medicine practice. Candidates should have an attentive manner and a desire to provide care in a patient-centric, internal medical practice. Phlebotomy skills are required as well. If you feel limited in your current role, and/or you feel like you are smart, focused, like to work hard, are timely to work, and are a self-starter, you should keep reading.
I am looking for a top-notch medical office nurse and I am willing to pay well for excellence.
