Crisis Registered Nurse
Join an amazing group of nurses, clinicians and counselors, minutes from the beach in sunny Southern California!
Seneca’s Ventura County Crisis Program provides crisis stabilization and short-term residential treatment for youth in serious distress. Services also include linkage to long-term, sustainable supports based on each client’s unique strengths and needs. This groundbreaking program provides a “no eject, no reject” policy to meet the needs of the youth in our care.
Under the supervision of the Nurse Manager, the Crisis Registered Nurse is responsible for implementing and evaluating the nursing care delivered within their shift, and for utilizing the nursing process to provide assessment, treatment planning, and evaluation of client care within designated clinical areas.
“I am intrigued by the Crisis Mental Health Nursing work that I do at Seneca and I enjoy working with all the Seneca Staff. It takes a very special person to work for Seneca! I also like that I get direct supervision on a weekly basis and our Seneca Management team is very supportive.”
