Psychiatric Rn Jobs in North Carolina

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.

Before becoming a Psychiatric RN, individuals often have experience in roles such as a Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, or Certified Nursing Assistant. To become a Psychiatric RN, one must complete a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BSN) or an Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) and pass the NCLEX-RN exam to obtain a Registered Nurse (RN) license. Additional specialized training or certification in psychiatric-mental health nursing is highly recommended. Important skills required for this role include excellent communication and interpersonal skills, empathy, resilience, the ability to work under pressure, and a thorough understanding of mental health laws and ethics.
