Who they are
You would be stepping into Collin County Mental Health Retardation Center’s Crisis Center in McKinney, a 24-hour unit for adults in acute psychiatric crisis with severe and persistent mental illness.
More about COLLIN COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH RETARDATION CENTER
The work is person-centered and trauma-informed: safety checks, de-escalation, and a multidisciplinary team around high-acuity behavioral health, not a quiet outpatient desk. If you want a full-time RN pattern, one posted schedule is Sunday–Monday–Tuesday 6 a.m.–6 p.m. at $6,667 a month. If you need flexibility, Crisis Center RN-PRN is posted at $65 an hour. The RN role also ties into supported housing, employment services, and co-occurring psychiatric and substance use care. They want a valid Texas RN license, a Texas driver license with a good record, and reliable transportation, and they prefer at least a year of mental health nursing or case management—or two years of inpatient nursing—so you should already know crisis floors before you apply.
Person-centered, trauma-informed behavioral health crisis services under HHSC crisis service standards.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- Crisis Center RN-PRN posted at $65/hour
- Full-time Crisis Center RN posted at $6,667/month with a fixed Sun–Mon–Tue 6 a.m.–6 p.m. schedule
- 24/7 high-acuity adult psychiatric crisis work on a multidisciplinary team
- Person-centered, trauma-informed care model with real-time safety checks
- RN scope includes supported housing, employment services, and COPSD support
- PRN and full-time 12-hour options on the same Crisis Center
The hard parts
- Prefers 1+ year mental health nursing/case management or 2 years inpatient nursing—not aimed at brand-new grads
- Requires valid Texas driver license, good driving record, and reliable transportation on top of RN licensure
- Nurse-to-patient ratios are not published in available postings
- No residency, tuition, or loan-help pathway listed in available facts
What to weigh
They prefer at least one year of mental health nursing or case management, or two years of inpatient nursing, so this is not built as a first-job launch pad.
