Travel Registered Nurse Behavioral Health / Psychiatric Job

Job Description

Job DescriptionStep into a transformative role as a Registered Nurse specializing in Behavioral Health and Psychiatric care in Glens Falls, New York, with the opportunity to serve patients across diverse communities nationwide. This position invites you to apply clinical expertise, empathy, and evidence-based practice to support individuals navigating acute and chronic mental health challenges. Begin on 03/12/2026 and embrace a schedule that aligns with your professional goals, offering weekly compensation in the range of $2,254 to $2,360 for weeks-long assignments. This is more than a job—it’s a platform to shape recovery, reduce stigma, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams dedicated to compassionate, patient-centered care. You’ll have the chance to witness meaningful progress in residents who are navigating anxiety, mood disorders, psychosis, and complex trauma, and you’ll play a pivotal role in strengthening families and communities through consistent, skilled nursing interventions.

Location Benefits: Glens Falls situates you in a community that blends small-town warmth with access to spectacular natural beauty. Picture evenings by the serene waters of nearby Lake George, dynamic fall foliage along scenic byways, and easy weekend adventures in the Adirondack Mountains. The region offers a welcoming, safe environment with strong local resources, great schools, and a vibrant cultural scene—from theaters and farmers’ markets to community gatherings that honor resilience and inclusivity. For travelers seeking broader experiences, this program also provides opportunities to rotate through various locations across the United States, exposing you to a spectrum of psychiatric services—from acute inpatient units to community-based outpatient programs—each presenting unique clinical challenges and horizons for professional growth. This flexibility supports continuous learning while enriching your personal and professional life with new landscapes, diverse patient populations, and the chance to build a broad professional network.

Role Specifics and Benefits: In this role, you’ll perform comprehensive nursing assessments, monitor vital signs, administer medications, and implement robust safety plans for patients with behavioral health conditions. You’ll de-escalate crisis situations, employ trauma-informed care principles, and collaborate with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and case managers to design and adjust individualized treatment plans. Your responsibilities include documenting progress with precision in electronic health records, coordinating discharge planning, facilitating family education, and participating in interdisciplinary rounds to optimize outcomes. The position invites you to pursue professional growth within behavioral health through targeted certifications (such as crisis intervention, de-escalation techniques, and evidence-based psychopharmacology), potential leadership opportunities, and mentorship roles for new staff. Benefits are competitive and comprehensive: a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and clear extension opportunities to tailor the assignment length to your career trajectory. A cornerstone of our program is 24/7 support for traveling clinicians—an experienced operations team ready to assist you at any hour, ensuring you always have dependable backup and seamless transitions between assignments, facilities, and shifts.

Company Values: Our organization is built on a steadfast commitment to empowering staff and advancing careers within a supportive, collaborative culture. We prioritize continuing education, credentialing, and access to resources that help you refine your practice, expand your scope, and assume greater responsibilities with confidence. You’ll work alongside colleagues who share a steadfast dedication to integrity, patient dignity, and ongoing improvement, benefiting from mentorship, peer collaboration, and structured pathways to leadership. This is a place where your voice matters, your expertise is recognized, and your well-being is embedded in the fabric of daily operations.
