Reno, United States NaphCare Full time

Overview:

NaphCare is hiring a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join our Jail Based Treatment Program that operates as a 30-bed adult specialized behavioral health unit at Washoe County Detention Facility in Reno, NV.

The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will provide diagnostic and medication management evaluations of JBTP patients and prescribe/provide treatment based on those findings. The ideal candidate has experience working in a correctional healthcare setting, and in working within a multidisciplinary team.

The Jail-Based Treatment Program (JBTP) provides specialized behavioral health services for patients awaiting transfer to a state hospital for further psychiatric treatment. The unit is a therapeutic environment, providing intensive day treatment services. By providing patient-centered, evidenced-based, and holistic care, the JBTP seeks to eliminate the need for these patients to transfer to the state hospital or, at a minimum, to decrease their length of stay once hospitalized. The ultimate aim is to assist defendants in moving forward with their legal case and with their lives in a healthier place.

NaphCare is partnered with the Washoe County Sheriffs Office to provide this program, which is supported by the SNAMHS and funded through the NV-DHHS Division of Public and Behavioral Health.

The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner will work with a team of mental health clinicians, a part-time psychiatrist, recreational therapist, discharge planner, and data coordinator led and supported by a program director.

As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, have you ever wanted to work somewhere where you can see real results from what you do? Where you are part of a true mental health professional team, well-supported by management, such that you know your patients quickly receive any medications they need, receive fast follow-up from providers and experience remarkable results? Would you like to work in a place that is secure and where most patients are very appreciative of your care?
