Nurse Practitioner – Addiction Medicine

Title: Nurse Practitioner – Addiction Medicine

Location: Ohio

Job Description:

Boulder Care is hiring experienced Nurse Practitioners aligned with harm reduction principles. In this position, you will work directly with patients to deliver medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in a fully remote outpatient setting. Clinicians in this role independently initiate and manage buprenorphine treatment within a structured, team-supported model of care.

This is a 100% remote, full-time, W2 position.

We are looking for individuals who

• Reside in one of the following states: AK, AZ, CO, FL, ID, IL, KS, MA, MD, MN, NC, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, VA, WA, WY
• Have an active Nurse Practitioner license in your state of residence (Note: we are currently unable to hire PA-Cs or CNSs)
  • NOTE: candidates who reside in Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, or Virginia must hold the designation or licensure required to practice independently without physician supervision in their state.
• Have at least 1 year of experience in an independent, outpatient setting where you regularly prescribed buprenorphine-based medications — including initiating care, not just continuing existing prescriptions — as a core part of your daily practice
• Are interested in full-time work: 30-40 hours/week, with various shift options (see below for details)
