LPN/RN PRN, Hope Center

Put Your Passion for Compassion to Work

Looking for a nursing role where you can use your clinical skills, build meaningful relationships with clients, and be part of someone's recovery?

Hope Center is a 24-hour residential treatment facility serving adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health needs. As part of LifeSpring Health Systems, our nurses work alongside an experienced interdisciplinary team to provide compassionate, recovery-focused care.

Nursing at Hope Center is a little different from traditional bedside nursing. The role places a strong emphasis on assessment, clinical judgment, medication management, client education, communication, and therapeutic support. You'll have the opportunity to get to know the people you care for, encourage them through challenges, and see the progress they make throughout treatment.

For nurses looking for a change of pace while still using their nursing knowledge and skills, Hope Center offers a unique and truly rewarding opportunity.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities may include:

• Complete nursing assessments and assist with new admissions
• Administer medications and monitor effectiveness
• Monitor clients for withdrawal symptoms and changes in condition
• Communicate with medical and psychiatric providers
• Provide medication, health, wellness, and recovery education
• Support clients receiving medications for addiction treatment (MAT)
• Respond to medical and behavioral health concerns
• Collaborate with therapists, case managers, recovery staff, providers, and other members of the treatment team
• Participate in treatment and discharge planning
• Support and encourage clients throughout the recovery process
• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation

New to Addiction Nursing? That's Okay!

Experience in addiction treatment, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), behavioral health, or psychiatric nursing is valuable, but addiction nursing experience is not required.

Nurses from many different clinical backgrounds bring skills that translate well to this setting. If you're compassionate, dependable, willing to learn, and interested in helping people in recovery, we provide training and support to help you develop your knowledge and confidence in addiction nursing.

Schedule & Opportunities

Hope Center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with nursing coverage around the clock. Nursing opportunities may include day, night, weekend, holiday, full-time, and PRN coverage, depending on current staffing needs.

Many nursing shifts are 12-hour shifts, allowing for fewer scheduled workdays during the week.

We understand that nurses also have responsibilities outside of work. Depending on the position and staffing needs, we are happy to discuss scheduling options for nurses balancing school, childcare, family responsibilities, another position, or other commitments. PRN opportunities can provide additional flexibility.

Why Nurses Choose Hope Center

Meaningful work: Be part of an important period in someone's life. Because clients stay with us throughout treatment, you'll have the opportunity to see their progress and know that your care, education, and encouragement contributed to it.

A different kind of nursing: Use your nursing knowledge and clinical judgment in a setting that emphasizes assessment, medication management, education, communication, and therapeutic interaction rather than traditional bedside care.

Time to connect: Get to know your clients as individuals, build rapport, provide education, celebrate milestones, and support them as they work toward recovery.

Variety: Admissions, assessments, medication management, withdrawal monitoring, education, provider communication, and behavioral health care mean that no two shifts are exactly the same.

A team approach: Work alongside nurses, medical and psychiatric providers, therapists, case management, recovery staff, and other professionals who share the goal of helping clients succeed.

Professional growth: Develop specialized experience in behavioral health, addiction medicine, substance use disorder treatment, MAT, withdrawal management, and recovery-focused care.
