Why Nurses Join Us

You get daytime hours, small patient ratios, and time to actually care for people.

•     A predictable schedule. Weekdays only. No night shifts, no 12-hour shifts, no Sundays, no floating, no on-call.

•     1:2 to 1:3 nurse-to-patient ratios. Certified psychedelic guides lead emotional support during and after infusions, so you can focus on IVs, medical monitoring, and clinical care.

•     Real mentorship in ketamine medicine. You train directly with our clinic director, who has personally performed more than 10,000 infusions.

•     A path to specialty certification. Full-time infusion work here can help you meet the experience hours for CRNI® certification, and we reimburse continuing education.

•     Work that matters. With more than 17,000 treatments completed, we care for patients living with depression, PTSD, and chronic pain.

About us: Rocky Mountain Mind and Body is a small, boutique integrative psychiatric practice in Englewood. We specialize in ketamine infusion therapy for mood disorders and chronic pain, vitamin and supplement therapies, and group ketamine therapy retreats.

About the Role

You will handle the clinical side of treatment: starting IVs, administering ketamine and other ordered therapies, and medically monitoring patients. You will work alongside our certified psychedelic guides, who provide the primary emotional support to patients during and after infusions.

We are looking for a compassionate, emotionally steady nurse with excellent manual IV skills. You should be patient with people who are hurting, communicate clearly and kindly, and work well both independently and on a small team.

Please read before applying: This role involves caring for patients with suicidal thoughts and hearing about trauma from patients with PTSD. Holding space for these patients is meaningful work, and it can be emotionally demanding. We ask you to consider honestly whether this environment is a good fit for you.

Schedule and Hours

Clinic hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., with a 60-minute meal break.

•     Required days: Monday and Friday for all positions.

•     Full-time: 5 days per week, at least 36 scheduled hours per week.

•     Part-time: A set schedule of at least 3 days per week (Monday, Friday, and one other weekday), at least 24 scheduled hours per week.

•     Group retreats: We hold group ketamine therapy retreats, typically on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Certified psychedelic guides lead these sessions, and RNs and the clinic director provide medical monitoring. Overtime is paid for all hours over 40 in a workweek or 12 in a workday.
