What is an infectious disease RN?

Infectious Disease Registered Nurses (RNs) are specialized nurses who focus on the prevention, identification, treatment, and control of infectious diseases in patients. They work closely with physicians, infection control teams, and public health officials to monitor outbreaks and educate patients and staff about infection prevention practices. These nurses may work in hospitals, clinics, or public health settings, and are essential in managing the spread of diseases such as COVID-19, tuberculosis, and other contagious illnesses.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an infectious disease RN?

To thrive as an Infectious Disease RN, you need expertise in infection control, clinical assessment, and evidence-based care, supported by an active RN license and experience or certification in infection prevention. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory reporting systems, and specialized infection surveillance tools is often required. Strong communication, critical thinking, and attention to detail are crucial soft skills for managing complex cases and educating patients and staff. These abilities are essential to prevent the spread of infections and ensure safe, high-quality care for vulnerable populations.

What are some common challenges faced by infectious disease RNs when working with multidisciplinary teams?

Infectious Disease RNs often collaborate closely with physicians, pharmacists, infection control specialists, and other healthcare professionals. A common challenge is ensuring clear and timely communication among team members, especially when managing complex or rapidly evolving cases. Coordinating care plans and infection prevention measures across different departments can also be demanding, but developing strong communication skills and familiarity with institutional protocols helps streamline this process. Building positive working relationships within the team is key to providing effective patient care and preventing the spread of infections.

Job description

Caseyville/Edwardsville, IL area | Part-Time | Monday–Friday | No Nights or Weekends

Make a Difference. Build Your Expertise. Enjoy Your Schedule.

Are you a Nurse Practitioner looking for an opportunity where you can provide meaningful patient care without nights, weekends, or hospital call?

Chicagoland Infectious Disease is expanding our clinical team and seeking a Nurse Practitioner to provide care to medically complex patients in skilled nursing facilities throughout the Caseyville/Edwardsville area.

You do not need to be an Infectious Disease specialist to be successful in this role. We welcome experienced NPs with backgrounds in primary care, internal medicine, geriatrics, hospital medicine, skilled nursing, post-acute care, wound care, hospice, or other complex-care settings.

This is an excellent opportunity for an NP who wants to expand their clinical expertise while enjoying greater flexibility and work-life balance.

Why Join Us?

Your clinical expertise matters—and so does your time outside of work.

  • Monday–Friday schedule
  • No nights
  • No weekends
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Full-time and part-time opportunities
  • Competitive hourly compensation
  • Performance-based bonus opportunities
  • W-2 employment
  • Collaborative clinical environment
  • Opportunity to develop expertise in Infectious Disease
  • Care for medically complex patients in the post-acute/SNF setting
  • Opportunity to build meaningful relationships with patients and facility care teams

What You'll Do

As a Nurse Practitioner, you will provide evaluation, treatment, and ongoing management of patients in skilled nursing facilities.

Responsibilities include:

  • Conduct comprehensive patient assessments
  • Diagnose and manage acute and chronic conditions
  • Develop and implement individualized treatment plans
  • Evaluate and manage infectious conditions
  • Review laboratory and diagnostic results
  • Prescribe medications and adjust treatment plans as appropriate
  • Collaborate with physicians, nursing staff, facility leadership, and other members of the care team
  • Provide education to patients, families, and healthcare professionals
  • Monitor patient progress and clinical outcomes
  • Document patient care accurately and timely
  • Support evidence-based infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship practices

Who We're Looking For

We are interested in experienced Nurse Practitioners who enjoy working with medically complex patients and want to make a meaningful impact.

Ideal candidates may have experience in:

  • Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF)
  • Long-Term Care
  • Post-Acute Care
  • Primary Care
  • Internal Medicine
  • Geriatrics
  • Hospital Medicine
  • Urgent Care
  • Wound Care
  • Hospice/Palliative Care
  • Infectious Disease
  • Complex Care Management

Infectious Disease experience is preferred, but not required.

Qualifications

  • Active Nurse Practitioner license in Illinois
  • Board certification as a Nurse Practitioner
  • Current DEA registration or eligibility
  • Current BLS certification
  • Strong clinical assessment and decision-making skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with physicians and facility teams
  • Experience with electronic medical records
  • SNF or long-term care experience is a plus

The Opportunity

If you're currently working long hospital shifts, rotating weekends, nights, or a demanding primary care schedule , this may be the change you've been looking for.

Join a growing organization where you can use your clinical skills, expand your knowledge of Infectious Disease, and provide high-quality care to patients who need it most— while maintaining a more predictable Monday–Friday schedule.
