What are the responsibilities and job description for the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner position at Claritiv Health?
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) — Ketamine Infusion Therapy
About Claritiv Health
Claritiv Health is a new ketamine infusion therapy clinic opening in Jackson, Tennessee this fall. We're building something different — a calm, patient-focused environment where psychiatric care meets cutting-edge treatment. Our mission is to bring accessible, evidence-based ketamine therapy to West Tennessee for patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain, and other qualifying conditions.
We operate under a Tennessee-compliant MSO/Professional Corporation structure with full administrative and operations support already in place — so you can focus entirely on clinical care.
The Role
We're hiring our founding PMHNP to lead clinical operations from day one. This is not a mid-level role buried in a system — this is a ground-floor leadership position with real clinical autonomy, equity ownership in the Professional Corporation, and the opportunity to shape every protocol, workflow, and patient experience from scratch.
You'll work under a collaborative practice agreement with our supervising physician. We also welcome NPs who bring an existing collaborating physician relationship.
Responsibilities
• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric and medical assessments for ketamine treatment candidacy
• Develop individualized ketamine treatment plans (dosing, frequency, monitoring protocols)
• Administer and supervise IV and IM ketamine infusions
• Monitor patients during and after infusion sessions (vitals, psychological response, adverse reactions)
• Manage patient follow-up, treatment adjustments, and discharge planning
• Maintain thorough clinical documentation in Osmind EHR
• Collaborate with supervising physician on complex cases, chart reviews, and quality standards
• Coordinate with patients' existing mental health providers and primary care physicians
• Help establish clinical protocols, safety checklists, and quality improvement standards
• Ensure compliance with DEA, Tennessee Board of Nursing, and all applicable regulations
Required Qualifications
• Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC)
• Active Tennessee APRN license (or ability to obtain before start date)
• DEA registration (or ability to obtain)
• Master's or Doctoral degree in Nursing (MSN/DNP)
• Minimum 2 years of clinical experience practicing as a psychiatric NP (post-certification)
• Current BLS and ACLS certification
• Comfortable with IV administration and patient monitoring
• Strong documentation, critical thinking, and independent clinical judgment
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with ketamine infusion therapy, Spravato (esketamine), procedural sedation, or IV infusion services
• Certified or trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), CBT, ACT, EMDR, or other evidence-based psychotherapy modalities
• Licensed or license-eligible for independent psychotherapy practice in Tennessee
• Background in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health, or pain management
• Outpatient or private practice experience
Compensation & Benefits
• Base Salary: $120,000 – $140,000 (based on experience)
• Equity ownership in the Professional Corporation (details discussed during interview)
• Therapy Certification Bonus: PMHNPs with psychotherapy certification (KAP, CBT, EMDR, ACT) are eligible for a $5,000 – $10,000 signing bonus and enhanced profit-sharing
• Performance bonuses tied to clinic growth
• CEU/training allowance
