$5,000 Retention Bonus to eligible New Full-Time RN hires

Looking for day shift, evenings and weekends

Northern Rivers is looking for talented Registered Nurses to meet the needs of our youth and adolescent patients with FT Day or Evening shifts available. The Northern Rivers Nurse understands the population we serve as the children in our care face challenges in four main risk factors: trauma, developmental disabilities, mental health, and juvenile justice.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACES) have been shown to increase risks for disease, disability and early mortality; 97% of the children in our care have suffered at least one ACE, while 80% have experienced four or more. ACES include sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse/neglect, medical trauma, domestic violence, parental incarceration, criminal activity in the home, disruption in caregiving and abuse due to sexual orientation/gender expression. Many of these issues repeat generation after generation—parents who have experienced ACES in their youth have a much higher tendency to expose their own children to ACES.

With this understanding, we are empowered to strengthen and provide foundational support on their path of growth, development, and independence. We as nurses embrace the opportunity to be a vital and supportive partner in their development.

If you are a focused caregiver with excellent communication skills, we may be the right fit for you. No chaos, an excellent work environment, and a dedicated team of professionals working with you.
