As a New Grad RN Gero Psych, your voice to influence patient care is valued and empowered at every turn –whether through open, collaborative relationships with your direct manager or more formal opportunities through hospital councils and national nursing initiatives. You'll help shape decisions that elevate both patient outcomes and the future of nursing.

Job Summary and Qualifications 

"We had a patient who had just lost her husband and arrived in a completely catatonic state – she wasn't eating, drinking, walking, or engaging at all. With the care of our nursing team in talking to her, group therapy, and coordinated care with her physician - including medication management - we helped guide her through the depths of her trauma and get re-acclimated to life. Before she was discharged, she told us, 'I'm a little happier. I'm still grieving, but now I know how to cope with it.' In that moment, I knew I was in the right place."
