Make a Difference When It Matters Most

Are you a nurse looking for a role where your clinical skills, compassion, and ability to connect with patients truly matter?

Join our Behavioral Health team and provide meaningful care to individuals during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. As a night-shift nurse, you will be an important part of a multidisciplinary treatment team focused on safety, stabilization, recovery, and helping patients move forward.

Why Nights?

A 7 PM–7 AM schedule can be a great fit for nurses who prefer longer shifts and fewer workdays each week. Night-shift nurses also play a critical role in providing consistency, reassurance, clinical oversight, and support throughout the overnight hours.

If you're ready for a nursing opportunity where you can build your behavioral health expertise while making a meaningful difference for patients, we'd love to hear from you.

Exceptional Incentives

$15,000 Sign-On Bonus for nurses with 2 years of experience
$10,000 Sign-On Bonus for nurses with less than 2 years of experience
$20,000 in Tuition Reimbursement

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced behavioral health nurses as well as nurses interested in expanding their skills and building a career in behavioral health.

What You'll Do

As a Behavioral Health RN, you will:

• Provide compassionate, patient-centered nursing care and medication administration while attending to the physical, emotional, and behavioral health needs of assigned patients.
• Assess patient needs and use nursing judgment and established standards of care to make clinically appropriate decisions.
• Monitor patient status, recognize changes in condition or behavior, and respond appropriately to patient needs.
• Work collaboratively with physicians, behavioral health professionals, and other members of the treatment team.
• Participate in individualized treatment and discharge planning by communicating relevant patient information and observations.
• Provide patient education, support, and guidance from admission through discharge.
• Help maintain a safe, therapeutic, and respectful treatment environment.
• Build professional, therapeutic relationships with patients while maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries.
• Communicate professionally and respectfully with patients, families, colleagues, and other healthcare professionals.
• Complete required documentation and follow established clinical, safety, and compliance procedures.

Why Behavioral Health Nursing?

Behavioral health nursing gives you an opportunity to use more than your clinical skills. You'll use communication, observation, critical thinking, relationship-building, and compassion every shift.

For RNs who enjoy getting to know their patients, working collaboratively with a treatment team, and seeing the human side of healthcare, behavioral health can be an incredibly rewarding specialty.
