RN or LPN - Inpatient
About The Position
Comprehensive Healthcare provides innovative behavioral health and integrated healthcare services to clients of all ages. We take pride in our creative and collaborative work environment and in delivering clinically excellent, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented services. Nurses in our inpatient units collaborate with behavioral health treatment teams to provide integrated, evidence-based treatment to clients throughout their stay. Nurses work closely with clients to administer medications, to provide education about prescriptions and general health needs, and to develop a treatment plan that reflects the clients’ goals. When possible, nurses will also coordinate with clients’ families or social supports to help position clients for success upon discharge from our facilities. Our programs have adopted trauma-informed principles to client care, so the nursing process will similarly take a respectful, patient, client-centered approach. We currently have one RN or LPN nights position available at Bridges, our 16-bed adult evaluation & treatment facilities for individuals experiencing an acute mental health or substance use crisis requiring stabilization and brief treatment. This position is three 12-hour shifts per week, 7pm-7:30am Saturday - Monday.
