More about Harsha Recovery Center
The RN posting sits on the Substance Abuse unit and lists direct and indirect care, crisis intervention, CQI, and work across cognitive, emotional, developmental, social, and behavioral needs. Pay from our single posting is $40 an hour. Nurse manager Lisa Chiaro is named in an employee spotlight with over 42 years of experience. Merrillville sits about 45 miles southeast of downtown Chicago in a compact-license state with a flat ~3% state income tax; local life includes places residents point to like the Merrillville Tea Room, Turkey Run Golf Course, and the Dean and Barbara White Community Center. One gap to know up front: a chamber welcome post calls the program 30-day and 90-bed, which does not line up with the 74-bed, 28-day figures on the employer site.
