Registered Nurse - Community Mental Health
About The Position
Registered Nurses provide medical and psychiatric support in a person's community. This role offers work/life balance while meeting the needs of clients who experience mental illness and often lack access to adequate healthcare. Through care planning, assessment, and implementation, you will be an integral part of a client’s growth and recovery. You will work closely with clinical teams, including consulting psychiatrists and medical doctors, providing health education and training on topics relevant to the clients' overall wellbeing. You will remove barriers to healthcare through home visits, developing treatment plans, administering medication, scheduling appointments, and coordinating care. You will also attend to medically related emergencies or crises, providing intervention as appropriate, and log client medical care. The culture at Thresholds is collaborative and supportive, providing the tools and resources needed for the best client care. Opportunities for training and professional development, including nurse supervision, will deepen knowledge and expand clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices.
