Wound Care Nurse Practitioner

Wound Care Nurse Practitioner (1099)

Skilled Nursing Facilities | Jacksonville, FL

Elements Wound Therapy is seeking an experienced, highly skilled Wound Care Nurse Practitioner to provide on-site care in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) throughout the Jacksonville area. This is a 1099 independent contractor role designed for a confident, procedure-driven NP who is comfortable managing complex wounds and practicing autonomously in a post-acute setting.

Our team specializes in advanced wound management, partnering closely with SNF leadership and interdisciplinary teams to improve outcomes, accelerate healing, and reduce avoidable hospitalizations.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Consistent SNF rounding schedule
• High volume of complex wound cases
• Regular opportunities for sharp debridement and advanced therapies
• Strong collaboration with DONs, wound nurses, and rehab teams
• Autonomy with supportive clinical leadership
• No nights, weekends, holidays, or call

Clinical Responsibilities

• Perform weekly (or more frequent as indicated) wound rounds in assigned SNFs
• Conduct comprehensive wound assessments, measurements, and staging
• Perform sharp/surgical and selective debridement
• Apply cellular tissue products (CTPs) and advanced wound care modalities when indicated
• Develop and adjust evidence-based wound treatment plans
• Manage complex wounds including pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, venous/arterial ulcers, and surgical wounds
• Collaborate with facility staff, therapy teams, and interdisciplinary care providers
• Provide clear wound care orders and ensure implementation by facility staff
• Document all encounters accurately in EMR with appropriate CPT and medical necessity alignment
• Support facility goals related to quality metrics and rehospitalization reduction

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Florida ARNP license
• National certification (FNP-BC/FNP-C, AGPCNP-BC/AGNP-C, or AGACNP-BC)
• Minimum 1+ year Nurse Practitioner experience in wound care REQUIRED
• Wound care certification strongly preferred (WCC, CWS, CWCN, etc.)
• Demonstrated experience performing debridement independently
• SNF or post-acute care experience strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of wound documentation, staging, and medical necessity
• Ability to work independently and manage a consistent rounding schedule
• Proficient with EMR and technology

Contractor Structure

• 1099 independent contractor model
• Competitive, productivity-based compensation
• Malpractice coverage provided
• CEU support available
• Opportunity to expand into additional facilities and service areas
