MedicalRecruiting.com recruits adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioners (AGNPs) for primary care practices, geriatrics programs, skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, and chronic-disease management teams nationwide. As the U.S. population ages, the AGNP — focused on adolescents through frail elderly adults — has become central to managing complex, multi-morbid patients in exactly the settings where demand is exploding. We place AGNPs on a contingency-only basis, with no fee until your candidate starts.

Adult-gerontology primary care NPs manage chronic and acute conditions in adult and older-adult populations: diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, COPD, and chronic kidney disease, plus geriatric syndromes such as polypharmacy, falls, cognitive decline, and frailty. In SNF and long-term care they handle rounding, care-plan oversight, and acute-change management to prevent avoidable hospital transfers. Employers require AGPCNP-BC or ANP certification, an unencumbered NP license, DEA registration, and — in many states — a collaborative agreement, along with EHR and value-based-care experience.
The most placeable AGNPs combine chronic-disease depth with geriatric judgment: they close care gaps for Medicare Advantage and ACO contracts, document risk-adjustment (HCC) accurately, and manage transitions of care across home, clinic, and facility. For SNF and house-call roles, employers value autonomy and panel ownership. We confirm population focus and setting experience up front so candidates fit your model from day one.
AGNP demand is concentrated in geriatrics, SNF, and long-term care — settings that have historically struggled to attract advanced practice talent against the perceived prestige and pay of acute or specialty roles. Travel between facilities, on-call for acute changes, and complex, high-comorbidity panels make these roles demanding, and candidates increasingly weigh value-based-care upside and schedule flexibility against base salary.
Credential confusion adds friction: employers sometimes conflate adult-gerontology primary care (AGPCNP) with the acute care AGACNP scope, or assume a family NP is interchangeable. The populations and settings differ, and screening for genuine geriatric and chronic-disease experience — not just the credential — is where generic hiring breaks down.
Our intake captures setting (primary care, geriatrics, SNF/LTC, house calls), panel complexity, value-based-care and HCC expectations, travel and call requirements, supervision model, and full compensation, then we match against our AGNP network and a targeted outbound search. You receive a curated slate of certified adult-gerontology NPs with the right population and setting experience, typically within 14–21 days.
Every placement is contingency-based with a 90-day replacement guarantee, so you carry no upfront risk and can benchmark our pipeline against any incumbent firm. AGNP candidates are never charged, and every conversation is confidential.
Family NPs (FNPs) are certified across the full lifespan including pediatrics, while adult-gerontology primary care NPs (AGNPs) focus on adolescents through frail elderly adults — making them especially strong for geriatrics, SNF, and complex chronic-disease panels. We match the credential to your patient population.
