About the Role

As a Registered Nurse (RN), you will serve as a vital member of a multi-disciplined team driven by a bold vision to change lives. In this role, you will perform a full range of professional psychiatric nursing services, including assessing, planning, administering, and evaluating patient care in alignment with team treatment plans. You will administer medical treatments as prescribed by physicians and provide essential psychosocial support and education to patients and their families.

Beyond direct patient care, you will provide day-to-day clinical direction to assigned Mental Health Workers and other paraprofessional staff, while documenting and reporting patient progress to the broader treatment team. All new clinical staff begin an extended clinical orientation and training immediately upon their first day, ensuring you are fully supported as you integrate into our community.
