The BHN has six Emergency Departments and two Convenient Care locations.
Job Summary & Responsibilities
Three employment tracks:
-
Combination of Emergency Department and Convenient Care: Primary responsibilities would include providing care at four emergency departments and two urgent/convenient care clinics. Employment would be regional such that shifts would be scheduled in locations that are close together with ability to work at all sites.
-
Convenient Care Only: Evaluate and treat a wide range of non-emergent medical conditions, perform minor procedures (including suturing, splinting, incision and drainage), and interpret ancillary tests (labs, urinalysis, x-ray, EKG). Care is provided promptly but thoroughly. Practitioners must be able to treat urgent conditions while knowing how to recognize emergencies to refer to a higher level of care. Practitioners must have prior Emergency Department experience or can transition to this track after working in the combination track.
-
Independent Practice: Advanced Practice Clinicians who work independently at a Critical Access Hospital ED with attending physician consult as needed in order to assess patients, provide quality care and provide appropriate disposition. This includes stabilizing patients with any necessary lifesaving procedures including endotracheal intubation, central line or IO placement, surgical cricothyrotomy, chest tube placement, emergent childbirth/delivery, or medical work ups (with Laboratory testing and result interpretation) and radiology interpretations. The APC must also be comfortable in transferring patients to appropriate facilities, discharging them home, or admitting them to the critical access hospital. Practitioners must have a post-graduate fellowship in emergency medicine or prior experience working independently in the emergency department setting.

Tips for Your Emergency Medicine Nurse Practitioner Job Search
Tailor your resume to acuity metrics
Emergency medicine hiring managers want to see patient volume, acuity level, and procedural competency on your resume. Quantify the number of patients you managed per shift and list procedures like intubation, chest tube insertion, and central line placement rather than describing them vaguely.
Highlight dual board certification clearly
If you hold both ACNPC-AG and ENP-C certifications, list both prominently near the top of your resume. Many emergency medicine nurse practitioner job postings require or strongly prefer dual certification, and burying credentials in a dense block of text causes recruiters to overlook them.
Filter openings by practice independence rules
Full-practice authority states give you more autonomy and often offer different compensation structures than reduced-practice states. When searching for openings, check the state's scope-of-practice rules early so you can target roles where your license lets you work without a physician collaboration agreement.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists emergency medicine nurse practitioner openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for simulation-based interview stages
Many emergency departments now include a clinical scenario or simulation exercise in their interview process. Practice walking through your rapid assessment and decision-making out loud, because interviewers are evaluating your differential diagnosis reasoning as much as your clinical outcome.
Negotiate shift structure alongside base pay
Emergency medicine nurse practitioners often have leverage to negotiate shift length, overnight differentials, and call obligations, not just base pay. Come to offer discussions with a clear preference on scheduling so you can trade flexibility on one variable for gains on another.
Emergency Medicine Nurse Practitioner Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most emergency medicine nurse practitioners?
The companies hiring the most emergency medicine nurse practitioners right now include Sound Physicians, Aurora Health Care, and Advocate Aurora Health, with the largest share of openings in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Washington, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Large health systems and freestanding emergency department networks tend to post the highest volume of openings on a rolling basis.
How many emergency medicine nurse practitioner jobs are remote?
About 0% of emergency medicine nurse practitioner openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the hands-on clinical nature of most roles in this specialty. Remote opportunities in this field are most common in telehealth triage, utilization review, and clinical education or training positions rather than direct patient care.
How do you become an emergency medicine nurse practitioner?
You become an emergency medicine nurse practitioner by first earning a registered nurse license and gaining clinical experience, then completing a graduate-level NP program with an acute care or emergency focus, and passing a national certification exam such as the ENP-C or ACNPC-AG. Many NPs also pursue additional emergency-specific clinical hours or fellowships to strengthen their procedural competency before applying to ED roles.
Can you get hired as an emergency medicine nurse practitioner with little experience?
New-grad NPs can get hired into emergency medicine, though most employers prefer at least some acute care or ED background. Completing clinical rotations in emergency settings during your NP program, pursuing a post-graduate emergency medicine fellowship, or transitioning from an RN role in the ED strengthens your candidacy significantly when your NP experience is limited.
What does the emergency medicine nurse practitioner interview process look like?
The interview process for an emergency medicine nurse practitioner typically starts with a phone or video screen with HR or a recruiter, followed by a panel interview with the medical director, lead physicians, and nursing leadership. Many programs include a clinical scenario discussion or simulation exercise where you walk through a patient presentation, and a facility tour or working interview shift is common before an offer is extended.
Where can I find and apply to emergency medicine nurse practitioner jobs?
You can find and apply to emergency medicine nurse practitioner jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your certification, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
