Psychiatric RN

Hospitals in the Denver, CO area are hiring for Behavioral Health RNs right now. If you've got experience in this specialty, your application is welcome here.

The Work

You'd be working directly with patients in a behavioral health setting. This isn't just passing meds; it's about building trust and providing real support during a tough time.

• Start with initial patient assessments and build individualized care plans alongside a team of doctors and therapists.
• Your day includes administering psychotropic medications, watching closely for how they work and for any side effects.
• A big part of the job is giving emotional support, using proven communication methods with both patients and their families.
• You'll run group therapy sessions and workshops that teach patients about mental health and wellness.
• The whole team works together on everything from daily care to planning for a patient's discharge and what comes after.

What You Need to Bring

We need someone who knows this world. The details matter, so here’s what’s required.

• A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or something higher from an accredited program.
• An active RN license with no issues on it.
• At least one year of experience working in behavioral health. Experience in an inpatient or outpatient environment is preferred.
• A solid, working understanding of psychotropic medications; you need to know how they work, their side effects, and the right way to give them.
• A clear sense of ethics. You must keep patient confidentiality and follow the professional standards set by the American Nurses Association (ANA).

The Practical Stuff

This isn't a one shift fits all kind of place. They've got options to fit different lives.

• Schedules: Day shift, night shift, and mid shift are all available.
• Job Types: You can go full time, part time, or pick up per diem shifts.
• The pay range for this role is $60,150 to $100,000 per year.
