What are the responsibilities and job description for the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) position at NeuConnections Ketamine & Wellness Clinic?
NeuConnections Ketamine & Wellness Clinic is a healing center with the goal of providing a safe and comfortable space for patients to receive life changing psychedelic assisted treatment for mental health issues. We believe the path to healing and wellness is one that no one needs to walk alone, and you will help facilitate an experience designed to help people overcome inner blocks and trauma and find peace, strength, and a brightness within themselves.
We are looking for a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for our Ketamine clinic to collaborate with our Medical Director (Anesthesiologist) and provide compassionate care to our patients. You will be responsible for IV infusions, Spravato, monitoring patient vitals (with a team of Paramedics/EMTs reporting to you), and assisting with patient intake, which will include reviewing physical and mental assessments.
This will not be like your normal hectic hospital/clinic role – instead we are creating a calming space for therapy where you will be integral in healing lives. The role will begin part-time, 2-3 days per week, with the ability to administer patient intakes from home on days when we are not doing infusions. As the clinic grows and helps more people find their inner peace, your role will transition to full-time (if you desire).
The clinic itself is in a medical plaza in Highlands Ranch and is already recognized as a comfortable, calming, and inviting space.
