Summary of Responsibilities

The Registered Nurse (RN) plays a vital role at Headwaters Behavioral Health’s new Children’s Residential Treatment Facility, working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team to provide exceptional care for adolescents experiencing significant emotional and behavioral challenges. The RN provides direct and indirect nursing care to support psychiatric stabilization, safety, and overall well-being.

Using strong clinical judgment and trauma-informed practices, the RN will assess and evaluate residents, administer and monitor medications, and communicate effectively with physicians, therapists, management, and the broader care team regarding each youth’s needs.
