Nurse Practitioner - Upward Bound Summer Camp
Maine Nurse Practitioner Association, Brunswick, ME, United States
Job Summary
The Upward Bound program at Bowdoin College seeks a part‑time Nurse Practitioner for the 2026 summer program. This position will provide a range of supportive health and wellness services for limited‑income, first‑generation‑to‑college high school students living in residence while taking classes and participating in activities designed to prepare them for admission to and successful completion of a high school degree. The NP will provide limited, non‑emergency on‑call consultation when needed.
The NP will deliver summer program wellness services through a free‑standing clinic. Responsibilities include daily medication administration and record keeping; health care coordination with parents/guardians and providers to support students living away from home; examination and assessment; triage and referral for illness and health concerns as they arise.
The UB summer program aims to foster a community‑oriented environment where every student is treated with the care and support needed to step out of their comfort zone and reach for their dreams. Participants are the first in their family to potentially achieve a college degree and largely come from limited income backgrounds. For many, the summer program is the first extended time away from home, requiring compassionate treatment coordination and an understanding of the limitations of rural health care and impact of poverty on young people’s well‑being.
Upward Bound is a federally funded program through the U.S. Department of Education serving low‑income, first‑generation college‑bound students from 14 high schools in Maine. Dedicated to empowering and supporting first‑generation and low‑income high school students in their pursuit of higher education, the program mission is to provide comprehensive academic, personal, and career development services that foster a commitment to lifelong learning, leadership, and community engagement. Through individualized mentoring, rigorous academic preparation, and a nurturing environment, we strive to equip our students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to succeed in college and beyond.
Hourly rate: $50–$55 per hour, commensurate with experience.
Education and Skills Requirements
A bachelor's degree and NP designation from an accredited nursing program are required. Applicants must be licensed in the State of Maine. Supervision by an MD beyond 24 months and a license to practice independently are preferred.
Must possess excellent oral and written communication skills; the ability to prioritize, organize, and multitask in a fast‑paced environment; and excellent customer service skills.
Experience Requirements
Experience providing primary or urgent care services as a Nurse Practitioner, preferably in pediatric, adolescent, camp, or school‑based settings.
Demonstrated experience administering and managing daily medications, including accurate documentation and record keeping.
Experience conducting health assessments, triage, and referral for acute illness and emerging health concerns.
Proven ability to coordinate care with parents/guardians, schools, and external healthcare providers.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting youth living away from home, including managing homesickness, stress, and adjustment‑related health concerns.
Familiarity with the health and wellness needs of low‑income, first‑generation, and/or underserved student populations.
Standard Workdays and Hours
16–20 hours per week for the periods June 23–July 16 and July 28–July 31, Monday to Saturday. Clinic hours: 7:30 am – 11:30 am. No clinic July 3–6.
