What this job is about

You're a Registered Nurse, and you're thinking about where you can do your best work. At Lifepoint Behavioral Health, your experience actually matters. This is a 77 bed behavioral health hospital in Louisville, KY called Triangle Springs, part of a bigger network (Lifepoint Health) with facilities coast to coast. We treat patients dealing with mental health and substance use disorders. It's serious work, but it's also the kind of work where you can make a real difference.

Here's the thing: we want you to be well so you can take care of others. That's not just a line. We back it up with structured schedules, strong leadership, and a culture that actually tries to keep work and life balanced. You'll work with an interdisciplinary team ; nurses, therapists, docs ; all focused on patient centered care.

What you'll actually do day to day

• Perform patient assessments accurately and figure out what each person needs
• Start the right nursing interventions ; the ones that match the patient's condition and age
• Document everything clearly and on time, tying it back to medical necessity in the medical record
• Write and update the Interdisciplinary Care Plan for each patient (you own this)
• Do timely and accurate QI assessments

• Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, which you'll get within 30 days of hire

• Behavioral health or psychiatric experience is preferred too
• Solid communication and critical thinking skills ; you'll need to de escalate situations and stay calm when things get intense
• A real commitment to compassionate, patient centered care

Schedule and pay details

This shift is 3x12, nights. That means 7 PM to 7 AM, with rotating weekends. And there's a $10,000 sign on bonus when you start.
