About The Position

Canyon Ridge Hospital is currently seeking a compassionate and talented Nurse Educator to join our team. At Canyon Ridge Hospital, we understand that not all wounds are visible. Depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and suicide affect millions of individuals and families. Our mission is to be a leader in behavioral healthcare, dedicated to excellent service in the community. Canyon Ridge Hospital has serviced the Greater Inland Empire since 1989. Canyon Ridge is a 157-bed acute, locked psychiatric facility offering services to adolescents ages 13-17, adults, and older adults. We believe in an individualized, patient-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment. For some, anxiety or drug dependence looks different from others with the same diagnoses, and in some cases, behavioral health and substance use disorders occur simultaneously. In these cases of dual diagnosis, we treat the patients in the best way possible given their specific needs. The Nurse Educator is responsible for directing and coordinating training for the facility as a whole. The Nurse Educator directly provides training and/or organizes and arranges training to be provided by others qualified in the topic to be addressed. Training is planned and provided based on the needs of the facility which are identified in a number of ways including but not limited to, the ongoing performance improvement process, safety surveys and findings, medical record audits, new policies and procedures, new programs, employee input, employee performance evaluations, medical staff input and regulatory agency requirements and findings. The Nurse Educator works closely with the CNO, Department Heads, CEO and the COO and Medical Staff.
