Thresholds, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Overview
At Thresholds, we believe in meeting people where they're at – in their environment and on their journey to recovery. Registered Nurses provide medical and psychiatric support where it makes the most impact – in a person's community. Working as a Registered Nurse for Thresholds provides an opportunity for work/life balance while meeting the needs of clients who experience mental illness and oftentimes lack access to adequate health care.
Responsibilities Through care planning, assessment, and implementation, you will be an integral part of a client's growth and recovery. You will work closely with clinical teams including consulting psychiatrists and medical doctors.

Opportunities for training and professional development, including nurse supervision, will deepen your knowledge and expand your clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices.
