Psychiatric NP (Nurse Practitioner)

DESCRIPTION

We’re seeking a compassionate and skilled Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to provide mental health services to residents in long-term care and nursing home facilities. This is a rewarding opportunity to bring impactful psychiatric care to an often-overlooked population.

Why You'll Love This Role :

Collaborative Care Model – Work closely with medical directors, nursing staff, and social workers to create well-rounded care plans.

Clinical Autonomy – Practice independently with the support of administrative and clinical leadership. No micromanagement.

Low-Stress Environment – Skip the chaos of hospitals and enjoy a calmer, more predictable day-to-day in post-acute and long-term care settings.

Competitive Compensation – Strong pay structure with real growth potential.

Comprehensive Benefits (Full-Time Only) – Full-time hours come with a comprehensive benefit package including major medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with match, paid time off, and more.
