As an RN Resident on the team, you will deliver exceptional care throughout the patient care journey, alongside a success coach. In this role, you will help patients who are struggling with mental health challenges and provide them with compassionate care and support, while also learning valuable skills in crisis intervention, de-escalation, communication and therapeutic rapport.
