Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse - Overnight - Sign on Bonus Eligible!
About The Position
High Point & Affiliated Organizations is hiring a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse for its Women's Addiction Treatment Center in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The agency treats and prevents substance use disorders and mental illness. This full-time position is 35 hours per week, with a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift and every other weekend required. New graduates are welcome. The position is eligible for a sign-on bonus, and pay is $34 to $52.50 per hour depending on license and experience, plus shift differentials. Nurses support patients recovering from substance use disorders by providing noninvasive medical care and evaluating and assessing withdrawal using evidence-based protocols. The role is described as physically low-impact: patients are mostly able to manage their own activities of daily living and ambulation. Nurses work in a two- to three-person nursing team to coordinate care and provide case management. High Point highlights work-life balance, with schedules that can be developed around 4-, 8-, or 12-hour shifts. Eligible staff receive a leave-time package; requests made more than 30 days in advance are typically granted, and a scheduler app assists with trading or filling shifts for requests made within 30 days. Shift trades are allowed even if they accrue overtime. Staff also receive one floating holiday per quarter. The organization monitors pay grades and adjusts them at least annually, and offers continuing education opportunities for registered nurses.
