Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Psych in Lawton, Oklahoma, where compassionate care meets opportunity. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to deepen your expertise in behavioral health, influence patient recovery trajectories, and grow within a supportive, mission-driven organization. Picture yourself delivering person-centered psychiatric care in a setting that values autonomy, resilience, and collaboration. As you step into this role, you’ll join a dedicated team that champions evidence-based practices, trauma-informed care, and the thoughtful integration of therapy, medication management, and crisis intervention. The impact you’ll have on individuals, families, and communities is meaningful, measurable, and deeply rewarding. And when you’re not delivering care, you’ll enjoy the beauty and spirit of Oklahoma—from the rolling plains to the rugged outdoor scenery, where you can unwind in places like the Wichita Mountains and the nearby Fort Sill vistas, creating balance between professional excellence and personal renewal.
Location benefits extend beyond Lawton’s welcoming community. Oklahoma offers a cost-effective lifestyle that supports professional growth without compromising quality of life. Lawton sits at a crossroads of heritage and modern opportunity, providing easy access to cultural venues, local dining favorites, and outdoor adventures.

In this role, you’ll provide high-quality psychiatric nursing care across inpatient settings, with responsibilities that emphasize assessment, diagnostic precision, psychoeducation, and collaborative treatment planning. Your day-to-day duties may include conducting comprehensive mental health assessments, monitoring vital signs and safety concerns, implementing individualized care plans, administering medications as ordered, and coordinating with psychiatrists, social workers, and therapy teams to ensure seamless, patient-centered care. You’ll apply de-escalation techniques and crisis intervention skills to support patients in distress, while building therapeutic alliances that foster trust and recovery. As you advance, opportunities for specialized training in areas such as severe and persistent mental illness, psychopharmacology updates, trauma-informed approaches, and evidence-based psychotherapies will be available, reinforcing your growth trajectory within the psychiatric specialty. The role also supports professional development through mentoring, structured learning moments, and access to continuing education resources. The environment promises stability through 36 guaranteed hours weekly, with a competitive pay range of 1,963 to 2,009 dollars per week, reflecting your expertise and the valuable contributions you bring to the team. The start date is set for 12/29/2025, for a multi-week assignment designed to align with your career plans and personal commitments, and you’ll have the option to extend based on agency needs and your professional goals.
Compelling benefits accompany this assignment. Alongside competitive compensation, you’ll enjoy a sign-on-style advantage, housing assistance to reduce relocation stress, and the potential for contract extensions that extend your impact and earning potential. The program emphasizes comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team—whether you’re adjusting to a new city, navigating a complex patient case, or coordinating with partner facilities. You won’t walk this path alone; you’ll be backed by a network that values communication, safety, and your well-being as non-negotiable priorities. This is a place where your clinical judgment is respected, your decisions are supported, and your professional voice matters in shaping patient experiences and care pathways.
Company values center on empowerment, respect, and empowerment through advancement. The organization believes in cultivating leaders who inspire teams, nurture clinical excellence, and foster a culture of safety and compassion. You’ll find mentors and peers who champion your growth, celebrate your successes, and encourage you to expand your scope of practice.
