Our client is a CARF-accredited public behavioral health organization that has served Central Virginia for more than five decades. It is hiring Registered Nurses for night shift in its newly opened Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Center. The center brings 16 crisis receiving chairs for 23-hour observation and 16 residential crisis stabilization beds under one roof. It accepts walk-ins, law enforcement transfers, people who need withdrawal management (detox) and individuals who need medical clearance, giving them an alternative to hospitalization when they do not need an inpatient bed. You will own the medical side of care for your assigned individuals: nursing assessments, medication administration, diagnostic procedures, provider consultation and client and family education, alongside crisis clinicians and providers around the clock. You will be the nurse a 24/7 crisis team relies on, not the one person on the floor trying to hold a hallway together.
