Pulmonary Function Lab Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Integrity Pulmonary Specialist is seeking a dedicated and compassionate Nurse Practitioner to join our growing team. In this full-time position, you will serve as a vital extension of our pulmonology practice by conducting pulmonary consultations at post-acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities across the East Valley, Central Scottsdale, and Central Phoenix. Your work will be central to our mission: delivering expert, personalized pulmonary care bedside—reducing unnecessary hospital transfers and improving outcomes for our most vulnerable patients.

You will work in close collaboration with our supervising pulmonologist, who manages ventilator-dependent patients at separate facilities throughout the valley. The nurse practitioner and pulmonologist operate at distinct locations—the NP’s assigned rehabs do not include vented patient facilities—creating a well-organized, specialized care model that allows each provider to focus on their respective patient populations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Conduct pulmonary consultations and follow-up visits at assigned post-acute rehab and rehabilitation facilities across the East Valley, Central Scottsdale, and Central Phoenix

• Perform comprehensive pulmonary assessments to identify and address patient needs before conditions escalate to hospital-level care

• Develop, implement, and manage individualized pulmonary care plans in coordination with the supervising pulmonologist

• Order and interpret diagnostic studies including pulmonary function tests, chest imaging, and lab work as appropriate

• Prescribe and manage medications related to pulmonary conditions including COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and respiratory infections

• Communicate clinical findings and care plans with facility nursing staff, attending physicians, and multidisciplinary teams

• Document patient encounters accurately and in a timely manner in accordance with regulatory and compliance standards

• Serve as a clinical resource for facility staff regarding respiratory care best practices

• Participate in structured onboarding and clinical training provided by our supervising pulmonologist and the outgoing nurse practitioner

• Proactively identify high-risk patients and coordinate preventive interventions to reduce avoidable hospital transfers

TRAINING & ONBOARDING

We are committed to setting our new team member up for success. This position includes a comprehensive onboarding program consisting of:

• Direct mentorship from our supervising pulmonologist, who brings extensive experience managing complex and ventilator-dependent pulmonary patients

• Hands-on transition training with the current nurse practitioner who is stepping down from this role, ensuring continuity of patient relationships and facility familiarity

• Facility introductions and orientation to the clinical workflows, staff teams, and patient populations at each assigned rehab location

QUALIFICATIONS

Required:

• Active and unrestricted Nurse Practitioner license in the state of Arizona

• Master’s or Doctoral degree in Nursing (MSN, DNP, or equivalent)

• Current DEA license or eligibility to obtain

• BLS and ACLS certification

• Strong clinical assessment skills with the ability to work independently in a mobile, multi-facility setting

• Excellent communication, critical thinking, and documentation skills

Preferred:

• Prior experience in pulmonology, critical care, internal medicine, or post-acute/long-term care settings

• Familiarity with respiratory conditions including COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, sleep-disordered breathing, and respiratory failure

• Experience working in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), long-term acute care (LTAC), or inpatient rehabilitation settings

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Integrity Pulmonary Specialist values our team and offers a competitive compensation package, including:

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience

• Medical insurance

• Vision insurance

• Dental insurance

• Structured, supported onboarding with mentorship from experienced pulmonology colleagues

• Opportunity to make a meaningful, direct impact on patient outcomes across the valley

WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is a field-based, mobile position. The nurse practitioner will travel between multiple post-acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities across the East Valley, Central Scottsdale, and Central Phoenix. To minimize drive time and maximize efficiency, facility visits are scheduled on a staggered geographic rotation—alternating days are dedicated to one side of the valley, so you are never criss-crossing the metro area in a single day. A valid driver’s license and reliable transportation are required. The NP’s assigned facilities are entirely separate from those covered by the supervising pulmonologist; the pulmonologist manages ventilator-dependent patients at distinct locations, meaning this role does not involve vented patient care or hospital-based rounding.

WHY INTEGRITY PULMONARY SPECIALIST?

At Integrity Pulmonary Specialist, we believe that patients deserve expert pulmonary care without the disruption and stress of an unnecessary hospital transfer. Our model brings specialist-level assessment and treatment directly to patients in their rehab and recovery environments. If you are a nurse practitioner who is passionate about preventive care, building lasting patient relationships, and working within a collaborative and supportive physician-led team, we want to hear from you.
