Boulder Care - Albuquerque, NM (Remote) · Statewide Telehealth (New Mexico), Albuquerque, NM, US, 87102

Boulder Care is hiring experienced Nurse Practitioners aligned with harm reduction principles. In this position, you will work directly with patients to deliver medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in a fully remote outpatient setting. Clinicians in this role independently initiate and manage buprenorphine treatment within a structured, team-supported model of care.

This is a 100% remote, full-time, W2 position.

We are looking for individuals who

  • Reside in one of the following states: AK, AZ, CO, FL, ID, IL, KS, MA, MD, NC, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, VA, WA, WY
  • Have an active Nurse Practitioner license in your state of residence (Note: we are currently unable to hire PA-Cs or CNSs)
    • NOTE: candidates who reside in Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, or Virginia must hold the designation or licensure required to practice independently without physician supervision in their state.
  • Have 6 months of experience in an independent, outpatient setting where you regularly prescribed buprenorphine-based medications — including initiating care, not just continuing existing prescriptions — as a core part of your daily practice
  • Are interested in full-time work: 30-40 hours/week, with various shift options (see below for details)
