Overview

This Veterans Affairs Assessment Nurse Practitioner – Colorado role is ideal for NPs who want to step away from productivity pressure and support Veterans in a focused, one-on-one setting. You’ll use your clinical training to perform structured disability examinations that directly impact access to VA benefits.

In this full-time outpatient role, you will not be treating or prescribing. Instead, you’ll complete standardized exams, document clearly, and submit reports within 24 hours using a web-based platform.
