You may also supervise, mentor, and evaluate other nursing personnel, collaborating closely with Nurse Coordinators, charge nurses, and Mental Health Supervisors/Specialists to ensure seamless continuity of care.
Flexibility in your work schedule is essential, as you will have the autonomy to exercise initiative and independent judgment while providing direct nursing care to patients as necessary.

- Implementing medical staff orders and nursing interventions in line with established nursing care standards and hospital policies.
- Participating in investigations related to client abuse and neglect.
- Implementing special precautions as ordered, explaining and documenting rights restrictions, and executing restraint/seclusion procedures to ensure patient safety.

You will also attend mandatory training to maintain staff competence and development, participate in ongoing education and training programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of patients, and monitor adherence to treatment, intervention, and protection strategies (TIPS) during episodes of patient restraint.
Open communication with the CNE/Assistant CNE/Nurse Administrator/Nurse Manager is crucial to stay informed and relay important information to staff on assigned units.
