Remote 8 Hour Rn Jobs in Meridian, ID (NOW HIRING)

About Frontier Psychiatry
Frontier Psychiatry is a physician-led, tech-enabled telehealth organization on a mission to improve the mental wellbeing of people in rural communities nationwide. We deliver timely, scalable, and evidence-based care in psychiatry and addiction medicine through innovative virtual solutions that expand access to those who need it most.
Since our launch, Frontier Psychiatry has grown rapidly while maintaining a deep commitment to our founding purpose - lifting the mental wellbeing of underserved populations. Our work is guided by healthcare's Quintuple Aim, which drives every decision we make:

• Deliver excellent patient care.
• Support the well-being of our team.
• Lower the total cost of care.
• Improve the population health of the communities we serve.
• Advance health equity.

If you're passionate about meaningful work, innovation in behavioral health, and making a lasting difference in people's lives, we'd love for you to join our team.
This is a fully remote position. While you'll enjoy the flexibility of working from home, applicants must reside within the state of Idaho to be considered for this opportunity.
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Remote. Idaho residents only.
$160,000 to $195,000 per year in total compensation
The Short Version

• Full-time means 36 scheduled patient-care hours per week. Documentation time is built into the work week, not added on top of it.
• No call. No nights. No weekends. Your time off is actually off.
• 1-hour initial evaluations and 30-minute follow-ups. We do not run 15-minute med checks, and we do not want you to.
• Idaho providers caring for Idahoans. You will live in the state you serve. Fully remote from anywhere in Idaho.
• W-2 employee. Base salary plus production-based income, totaling $160,000 to $195,000.
• Healthie EHR with Nabla AI documentation, so your notes are largely written by the time the visit ends.
• Direct access to experienced subspecialty psychiatrists for mentorship and case guidance, plus a clinical pharmacist on staff.

Why This Role Exists
Idaho has some of the lowest per-capita access to psychiatric care in the country. Patients in rural counties wait months for an appointment, then drive hours to keep it. Many never make the drive.
Frontier Psychiatry exists to close that gap. Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners carry that work. You will hold your own panel, evaluate and treat a broad range of psychiatric conditions, and give patients timely care they could not otherwise get.
We are hiring an Idaho-based provider on purpose. Telehealth makes it easy to beam a clinician in from anywhere, and plenty of companies do exactly that. We think care is better when the person delivering it knows the towns, the winters, the distances, and the local resources a patient can actually reach. If you live here, you already understand what your patients are describing.
This is direct clinical work with a clear purpose behind it.
Schedule & Commitment
This is a full-time, W-2 position.
Full-time is defined as 36 scheduled patient-care hours per week. Those hours are the appointment slots on your calendar. The remaining hours in your standard work week are yours for documentation, refills, care coordination, and required meetings.
We say this plainly because clinicians have been burned by postings that do not.
What your schedule looks like

• Initial evaluations are 1 hour. Follow-ups are 30 minutes.
• We discourage 15-minute med checks. Short visits move volume and produce worse care, and we have built the schedule to avoid them.
• No call, no after-hours coverage, no weekend rotation.
• Weekly Provider Rounds and a monthly All-Staff meeting, both inside the work week.

What You'll Do
Clinical care

• Evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients across a broad range of psychiatric conditions using evidence-based practice
• Prescribe medications and deliver psychotherapeutic interventions as appropriate
• Manage your panel based on clinical acuity, keeping follow-up intervals appropriate to patient need

Collaboration and mentorship

• Bring complex cases to experienced subspecialty psychiatrists on our clinical team, including child and adolescent and addiction specialists
• Consult with our clinical pharmacist on complicated medication questions
• Coordinate with primary care providers, therapists, schools, and families as appropriate
• Contribute to interdisciplinary treatment planning discussions

Documentation

• Complete accurate notes for every encounter in Healthie, supported by Nabla AI documentation
• Close documentation within 48 hours of the visit
• Follow clinic policies, prescribing standards, and state and federal regulatory requirements

Growth

• Stay current on developments in psychiatric treatment
• Use your CME benefit and bring what you learn back to the team

What Success Looks Like
In your first 30 days: You are credentialed, onboarded, and seeing patients. You know your scheduler, your pharmacist, and the psychiatrists you can call by name.
By 90 days: Your panel is full. Your notes close within 48 hours. You are comfortable bringing complex cases forward and you know who to bring them to.
Over your first year: Your patients stay engaged and get better. Your colleagues rely on your clinical judgment. You are practicing at the top of your license without drowning in administrative work.
What We're Looking For
Required

• MSN or DNP with a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specialization
• Board certification as a PMHNP-BC
• Active, unrestricted Idaho Nurse Practitioner license, or eligibility for one before your start date
• Clinical experience diagnosing and treating psychiatric conditions
• A home setup that supports private, reliable telehealth visits
• Strong written communication, since much of your collaboration will happen in writing

Helpful, not required

• Experience with rural or underserved populations
• Child and adolescent experience
• Buprenorphine prescribing experience
• Additional state licenses

If you meet most of this and not all of it, apply anyway. We would rather read your application than guess.
What We Offer
Expanding access to psychiatric care depends on supporting the clinicians who deliver it. That means real
support, not a mission statement.

• 100% remote
• 3 weeks of paid vacation (120 hours), plus 40 hours of sick time
• Your birthday off, paid
• 9.5 paid holidays
• 401(k) with company match
• 100% employer-paid premiums for employee-only medical, dental, vision, and accident coverage
• HSA option
• Stock options
• Company-provided equipment
• $500 per year toward continuing education
• Malpractice insurance fully covered
• Licensure costs covered in every state where you provide care

Pay: $160,000 to $195,000 per year in total compensation for Idaho. Pay is a base salary plus production-based
income. The range above reflects expected total earnings, not base alone.
