Registered Nurse

Alright, let's talk about this RN night shift position at the new Centra Behavioral Health Hospital in Lynchburg, VA. It's a full time gig on nights, and they're building the place from scratch; it's a 72 bed facility set to open in 2026. You'd be coming in early, which is a pretty unique chance to help shape how things run.

What you'd be doing

You're the RN overseeing the floor for your shift. That means you're assessing patients, planning their care, and getting everything documented on time. You'll monitor folks for any changes and handle it, which includes calling the doctor if you need to.

A big part of this is leadership. You'll delegate tasks to the team; things like running groups, managing close observation checks, or supervising meals. It's on you to make sure nursing policies are followed and that everyone on your shift is delivering really solid, compassionate care. Giving meds? You'll follow hospital policy to the letter.

The core of it is providing quality nursing care to help execute each patient's treatment plan. You'll do comprehensive assessments. And how you interact with people matters; empathy, dignity, and respect aren't just buzzwords here, they're non negotiable in every interaction.

What we need from you

• You need to be a graduate of an accredited nursing school.
• A valid RN license is required.
• Having one year or more of behavioral health experience would be a major plus.

The schedule & what you get

This is a full time position working night shifts.

The base pay is just one part of it. They've put together a benefits package that covers a lot of ground:

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage with multiple plan levels to choose from.
• Life insurance, accident coverage, critical illness and hospital indemnity insurance.
• Short term and long term disability protection.
• Paid family leave and paid time off.
• A 401(k) retirement plan with a company match.
• Tuition assistance for higher education and certifications, plus some student loan assistance programs.
• Wellness programs focused on mental, physical, and financial health. This includes things like free gym memberships, virtual care appointments, mental health services, and discount programs.
• They emphasize ongoing professional development and career growth opportunities.

And again; you'd be working in a brand new hospital with new equipment and technology. That doesn't happen every day.
