To prospective teammates,

I’m the director of the Sound Physicians Hospital Medicine Ambassador program (travel team). I have been a part of Sound for six years. I’m proud of the Ambassador team we’ve built and welcome interest from experienced and certified acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) who desire a career change. I’d like to share more about it, specifically about our people, practice, and purpose, as you consider your next steps:

• Our nurse practitioners all have a minimum of 3 years of hospitalist experience and are passionate about teamwork, integrity, and delivering high-quality patient care.
• Our nurse practitioners are Certified in Acute Care.

Practice

• Our Ambassador NPs practice in various hospital settings and are highly adaptable.

• Expected annual salary ranges from $185K to $221K depending on the schedule worked (days/swings/nights).
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, long- and short-term disability, 401k with match, paid medical malpractice and tail coverage, and annual CME allowance.

Purpose

• We put patients first. Always.
• Focusing on growth and development is a key feature of Sound practices, where teammates can expand their careers locally and within the broader medical group.
• We’re a community-minded team and encourage our team members who want to contribute in and out of the hospital to help make our local community thrive.
