More about Penobscot Community Health Care
The work sits inside a nonprofit FQHC that runs an integrated Medical Home model: you embed with providers and the care team on triage, care coordination, and day-to-day clinical decisions, with psychiatry, dental, family medicine, pediatrics, pharmacy, geriatrics, lab, and physical therapy under the same umbrella across roughly 18 offices. The posted full-time pattern is Tuesday through Friday, four 10-hour dayside shifts—no nights, no weekends—with flexible schedules noted on the listing. Base annual pay on the Brewer Primary Care Team RN posting runs from about $68,640 up to about $98,030, and external hires are offered a $3,000 sign-on and retention bonus. Brewer itself sits across the Penobscot from Bangor, with a typical commute around 13 minutes and a more spread-out, single-family feel. What you will not find polished away in the public record is a mixed Glassdoor picture—about 3.1 out of 5 from roughly 52 reviews, only around a third willing to recommend, and softer scores on compensation and career growth than on culture.
Nonprofit FQHC founded 1997; mission centered on comprehensive integrated primary care across medical, behavioral, dental, and related services.
