We are seeking a Crisis Center Nurse Practitioner.

As part of a multidisciplinary team-based service, this role provides psychiatric evaluations and short-term medication management for patients who present to the 24-hour Crisis Center, which includes a Brief Intervention Clinical and Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) in consultation with a collaborative Psychiatrist.

Network 180’s Behavioral Health Crisis Center is a 24/7 facility that serves adults 18 years and older and includes a walk-in Brief Intervention Clinic and a secure Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU).
