ACT Registered Nurse
About your Role:
Our Registered Nurse works as a member of the ACT team, advocating and working with your assigned adult clients. The team is comprised of several members, each with their own focus with the client, including housing, vocational services, therapy, medical, and substance use. As our RN, you will oversee the medical needs of the clients, including nursing assessments, health histories, response to medications, need for physician referrals, and assistance with applying for Patient Assistance Program medications. You will monitor and care for your clients, consulting with them and their family supports regarding medical, nutritional, and other health issues related to the individual's mental health or substance related issues, and providing education on how to self-administer medication. For optimal client success, you will meet with clients in the local community primarily.
Perks of this role:
ACT Program:
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) was created in the 1970s and is one of the oldest and most widely researched evidence-based practices working with severe mental illness adult clients, ages 25 and older. By providing person centered assistance including housing, recovery, vocational support, nurse/psychiatrist and therapist services, we enable clients to eventually transition to lower levels of care programs or move toward independence, increasing their quality of life. Clients may include adults with a history of trauma, homelessness, frequent hospital stays, refugees, and clients who have not responded well to traditional outpatient care.
