Psychiatric Rn Jobs in Naugatuck, CT

A Psychiatric Registered Nurse (RN) plays an important role in the mental health industry by providing specialized care to patients with mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression among others. They are responsible for assessing and diagnosing the mental condition of a patient, administering medication and treatments, and developing and implementing patient care plans. Their role also involves providing psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and teaching patients' families about their loved ones' condition and how to create a supportive home environment.
