$3,000 SIGN-ON BONUS!• RN License? Ready to Use It Somewhere Different? No hospital floor. No endless call lights. No revolving door of patients. This is nursing where you have the opportunity to know the people you're caring for. Four Oaks is looking for a Registered Nurse who wants to bring their clinical experience somewhere it can make a different kind of impact. Our RN supports youth living in Residential Treatment—young people who need more than medical care. They need consistency. Advocacy. Someone who notices when something isn't right. Someone they trust enough to say, "I don't feel okay." That's where you come in. This Is Nursing With Connection. As our Registered Nurse , you'll oversee and coordinate the healthcare needs of youth in our residential programs while serving as an important resource for the staff supporting them every day. Yes, there are medications, assessments, appointments, policies, and documentation. But there's also something you don't get in every nursing position: Time to build relationships. You'll get to know the youth in your care. You'll learn what's normal for them and recognize when something isn't. You'll advocate for their medical needs, coordinate their care, educate the people supporting them, and help create an environment where their physical and emotional health are both taken seriously. What Will You Actually Do? You'll bring your nursing knowledge and clinical judgment to: Build trusting relationships with youth while assessing and responding to their medical needs. Provide medical triage and determine when additional evaluation or treatment is necessary. Coordinate medical, psychiatric, and psychological appointments and services. Oversee medication management, including safe distribution, storage, and destruction of prescribed medications. Review medication errors and lead continuous quality improvement efforts. Maintain accurate medical records and ensure proper documentation practices. Develop and maintain health-related policies and procedures that support safe care. Identify and appropriately report medical, safety, and public health concerns. Provide supervision and oversight of the Health Services Department. Serve as a nursing resource for program staff when medical questions or concerns arise. Train staff in CPR, First Aid, Infection Control, and other health-related policies and procedures. Your Nursing Experience Can Do More Here. Maybe you've worked bedside and you're ready for a change. Maybe you love nursing but want a position where relationships matter just as much as the clinical task in front of you. Maybe you're looking for an opportunity to use your RN experience in care coordination, education, leadership, advocacy, and direct nursing support instead of doing the same thing shift after shift. Or maybe you're simply ready to try something completely different. We should talk. The RN We're Looking For We're looking for someone who can bring more than a license to the role. Someone who is compassionate but confident. Someone who can make a clinical decision and explain the "why" behind it. Someone who can collaborate with physicians, mental health professionals, residential staff, and other members of a youth's care team. Someone who understands that sometimes the most important part of nursing starts by getting a young person to trust you. Not Your Typical Nursing Job. You worked hard for your RN license. Use it somewhere your impact reaches far beyond a patient room. Join Four Oaks and help provide the medical care, advocacy, education, and consistency that youth in Residential Treatment deserve. Ready for a Different Kind of Nursing? Apply today. We'd love to talk with you. $3,000 SIGN-ON
