BAYLOR NIGHTS Charge Registered Nurse

Registered Nurses (RNs)

Mental Health Resource Center is looking for Registered Nurses (RNs) to provide and oversee quality and compassionate care for patients at our Northside and Southside inpatient psychiatric facilities. The crisis stabilization units provide services for adults and children. Most patients are admitted involuntarily to the facility via the Baker Act, the mental health act of Florida. The normal length of stay on the unit for patients is typically 3-5 days. Due to the types of services provided, crisis stabilization units are fast-paced working environments and present employees with challenging and rewarding opportunities. Employees work together and support one another in a friendly, team-oriented atmosphere. The duties of Registered Nurses include admissions, discharges, taking doctor's orders, administering medication, and providing routine and emergency medical care and interventions as needed. Registered Nurses also assess the needs and problems of patients, plan the patient's care in cooperation with the treatment team, monitor and observe patients, and oversee the care provided by the Behavioral Healthcare Assistants. Registered Nurses ensure services are provided in accordance with the Quality Assurance Standards for Behavioral Health Services and Joint Commission standards. MHRC provides a variety of training, including but not limited to Crisis Intervention, CPR, Diagnosis and Behaviors, Ethics, and Confidentiality. MHRC is an approved Continuing Education provider with the Department of Health in Florida and many in-house trainings provide free CEUs for employees.
