On-Call Registered Nurse - Residential Program

HealthRIGHT 360 gives hope, builds health, and changes lives for people in need by providing comprehensive, integrated, compassionate care that includes primary medical care, mental health services, and substance use disorder treatment.

The On-call Registered Nurse (RN) utilizes the Nursing Process and Harm Reduction and Trauma Responsive Care modalities in all actions taken to advocate for and support the client in their planning and goals. They specifically focus on co-managing (with clients) any self-administered inductions and/or titration of MAT (prescription medications) and the WM LVN monitors concurrent vital signs and symptoms with CIWA/COWS scoring. They triage acuity, report changes in condition to the Nurse Manager, Nurse Director, and/or Medical Director, and/or activate emergency interventions, as needed. The WM RN acts as a shift lead and resource for unlicensed Health & Wellness staff and ensures adherence to evidence-based treatment plans. Where clients need extended WM support, they work with the WM Medical Case Manager to initiate authorization. They screen those clients who plan to enter residential treatment for Tb and perform skin testing as needed, and other duties as assigned.
