We are searching for a sharp-eyed psychiatric nurse to tend to inpatient and outpatient psychiatric cases. A psychiatric nurse should co-create evidence-based protocols, administer prescribed treatment, and report on prominent deviations in patients' symptomology. You should also restrain otherwise uncontrollable patients to protect them.

To ensure success as a psychiatric nurse, you must exercise empathy and resilience. Ultimately, a brilliant psychiatric nurse will continuously hone their psychiatric skillset to bolster their service provision.

• Gauging patients' psychiatric states.
• Collaborating on psychiatric intervention plans.
• Administering psychotropic and similar medications.
