Part-Time Pediatric ARNP/APRN
Potential to Transition to Full-Time
Windermere Pediatrics is seeking an experienced, dependable, and flexible Pediatric Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (ARNP/APRN) to join our independent pediatric practice.
This position will begin as part-time, with the possibility of transitioning into a full-time role based on performance, patient volume, availability, and the needs of the practice. The provider must have an open and flexible schedule and be willing to provide additional coverage when another provider is out due to vacation, illness, emergencies, or other scheduling needs.
This is not an entry-level position. Applicants must have previous clinical experience treating infants, children, and adolescents in a pediatric or closely related setting.
Schedule Requirements
- Part-time schedule with the possibility of additional hours
- Must have flexible weekday availability
- Must be willing and reasonably available to fill in for other providers as needed
- Must be available to work scheduled 1-2 Saturday half-days from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- Must be dependable and able to arrive on time for all scheduled shifts
- Must communicate scheduling conflicts or requested time off in advance
- Must be genuinely interested in the possibility of transitioning to full-time employment
Applicants seeking only a fixed schedule with no ability to provide occasional additional coverage may not be a good fit for this position.

- Review immunization histories and identify vaccines that are due
- Counsel parents and guardians regarding vaccines, development, nutrition, medications, treatment plans, and preventive care
- Recognize when a patient requires referral, emergency evaluation, or a higher level of care
- Manage common chronic pediatric conditions and coordinate specialty care when appropriate
- Accurately and thoroughly document all visits in the electronic health record
- Complete charts, orders, referrals, prescription requests, and patient messages promptly
- Review laboratory and diagnostic results and communicate appropriate follow-up instructions
- Work collaboratively with physicians, nurses, medical assistants, front-office employees, and other team members
- Follow all clinical protocols, patient-safety procedures, HIPAA requirements, and office policies
- Help maintain an efficient patient flow while still providing attentive, compassionate care
- Assist with provider coverage during vacations, call-outs, and other staffing needs
Required Qualifications

- Excellent documentation, communication, and time-management skills

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is someone who is clinically experienced, dependable, flexible, and comfortable caring for children of all ages. This person should work well with a small team, communicate clearly with families, complete documentation on time, and be willing to help when another provider or employee needs coverage.
We are looking for someone interested in becoming a consistent and valued member of our practice—not someone seeking only occasional shifts without ongoing commitment.
