At Thresholds, we believe in meeting people where they're at - in their environment and on their journey to recovery. Registered Nurses provide medical and psychiatric support where it makes the most impact - in a person's community. Working as a Registered Nurse for Thresholds provides an opportunity for work/life balance while meeting the needs of clients who experience mental illness and oftentimes lack access to adequate health care.
Through care planning, assessment, and implementation, you will be an integral part of a client's growth and recovery. You will work closely with clinical teams including consulting psychiatrists and medical doctors. Part of your role with the clinical team will be providing health education and training on topics relevant to the clients' overall wellbeing.
You will remove barriers to healthcare through home visits where you will develop treatment plans to meet needs, administer medication, schedule appointments, and coordinate care. You will also attend to medically related emergencies or crises providing intervention as appropriate. You will not only see clients' progress, but will log their medical care.
The culture at Thresholds is collaborative and supportive, providing you with the tools and resources you need for the best client care. Opportunities for training and professional development, including nurse supervision, will deepen your knowledge and expand your clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices. This invaluable experience is enhanced by a standard business-hours schedule, with rare weekend and evening appointments.
