Adult Psych Nurse

Catholic Health Initiatives • Little Rock, AR • 12h ago

Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Adult Psych Nurse at CHI St Vincent Infirmary, you'll help our patients and their families feel comfortable and educated when they're making significant healthcare decisions. Our patient population needs hands-on nursing to be able to identify patient needs when they are not able to articulate what they are experiencing.

You'll build trust in these interactions by advocating, supporting, and educating your patients and their families. Your success in this role comes from your empathy and patience to help others during a vulnerable time in their lives. You'll get to be involved in patient improvement that can take a patient from disorientation to opening up and sharing their personality.

You'll routinely conduct rounds, physical assessments of patients, and med pass during your shift to diagnose the medical and emotional status of patients.

You're interacting with the patients throughout your shift so you'll be the eyes and ears to notice any difference in patient health and behavior. You'll be responsible for alerting the physician of any changes you notice.

We encourage a communal patient population so you can expect to interact with patients in a group setting and lead therapeutic group meetings with them as scheduled. You'll also coordinate and work with the activities director for our unit.

We provide an important education component for patients and their caregivers so you'll be expected to thoroughly explain diagnosis and plans for ongoing treatment to patients

We are offering a sign on bonus up to $25,000 depending on shift to hires who meet the eligibility requirements. We also offer additional pay for participation in our clinical ladder as well as referral bonuses, excellent benefits, and relocation assistance.

Job Requirements

Unencumbered license to practice in the State of Arkansas

6 months of acute care experience is required (new graduates or nurses who have never worked in an acute care setting are hired through our residency training program)

Previous Psych experience is preferred, but not required

BLS through the American Heart Association is required

While you're busy impacting the healthcare industry, we'll take care of you with benefits that include health/dental/vision, FSA, matching retirement plans, paid vacation, adoption assistance, and more!
