DSHS BHA Registered Nurse

State of Washington
Grand Mound, IA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/2/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/14/2025
Join our team as a Registered Nurse 2 at our newest behavioral health treatment campus, Maple Lane, near Centralia, WA.

Behavioral Health Treatment Center Maple Lane offers innovative treatment for residents who are civilly committed, in need of competency restoration, or adjudicated not guilty by reason of mental diagnosis. Each residential unit helps shape the future of behavioral health, aligning with Washington State’s vision of community-based care. Treating residents in smaller facilities, we help them stay closer to home, family, and support systems, fostering stronger community connections.

Maple Lane is a key business unit of DSHS's Behavioral Health Administration, where our dedicated staff offers patients enriching opportunities and experiences outside the hospital setting, preparing them for a smooth transition back into the community. This is a great opportunity to be a team member as BHA modernizes and enhances behavioral health treatment in Washington State.

As an RN2, you provide primary nursing care to residents within the facility and collaboratively work with the treatment team in the delivery of care as documented in the integrated treatment plan. You will work directly with residents, program staff, agency partners, and community stakeholders. Each team member contributes to the patient's rehabilitation.   

Opportunities performed on-site at this work location at least three days a week may be eligible for an additional 5% premium pay in addition to the advertised salary.  Evening and Night shifts include a shift differential in addition to the standard compensation rate.  Please indicate your preferences in the Supplemental Questions.

Some of what you'll do

  • Participate as a member of an interdisciplinary team in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of patient care
  • Educate patients on social skills, functional skill development, and medications.
  • Monitor patients' behavior and if needed, de-escalate high-risk situations
  • Participate in the management of behavioral health and medical emergencies
  • Assess and evaluate patients who have behavioral health issues and chart significant changes in the patient's condition
  • Administer medications and treatments
  • Produce care plans and risk assessments for your patients
