MiraVista Behavioral Health Center
Mid Level
Step into a purposeful travel nursing opportunity as a Registered Nurse with a Behavioral Health / Psychiatric specialty, serving patients in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Starting 03/16/2026, this assignment provides 40 guaranteed hours per week and competitive weekly pay of $2,309 to $2,420, with robust support designed for success on the road. As a Travel RN, you’ll join a multidisciplinary team delivering compassionate, patient-centered psychiatric care across acute and community settings, applying evidence-based interventions, de-escalation techniques, and collaborative planning to help individuals regain stability and hope. This role is designed to deepen your expertise in behavioral health nursing while broadening your clinical horizons across diverse populations and care environments. You’ll be empowered to make a tangible difference in people’s lives, building resilience and restoring dignity in moments of crisis and beyond.
Massachusetts is famed for its rich history, vibrant culture, and scenic landscapes. In Holyoke and the surrounding Pioneer Valley, you’ll experience riverwalks along the Connecticut River, fall foliage that illuminates the hills, year-round outdoor recreation, and a thriving arts scene. From Mount Tom’s vistas to nearby historic towns and quick getaways to Boston’s museums or the Cape’s coastline, the region offers an inviting backdrop for professional fulfillment and personal renewal. The area blends small-city warmth with easy access to urban amenities, colleges, and cultural events, creating a dynamic environment in which to grow your practice and enrich your life.
Location benefits extend beyond Holyoke. Working here offers the best of a close-knit community with convenient access to major centers, enabling meaningful connections with patients and colleagues while maintaining balance in your schedule. The assignment also presents opportunities to work in additional sites across the United States, providing exposure to a spectrum of psychiatric care settings—from inpatient units to outpatient clinics and crisis response teams. This variety expands your clinical repertoire, supports targeted career advancement, and broadens your professional network, all while you enjoy the stability of a consistent, guaranteed hourly commitment.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support growth and well-being. You will perform comprehensive psychiatric assessments, document and refine care plans, administer medications per protocol, monitor for adverse effects, and provide crisis intervention and de-escalation as needed. You’ll collaborate with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other nurses to ensure safe, coordinated care, timely documentation, and smooth transitions across settings. You’ll lead patient and family education, discharge planning, and post-discharge follow-up to promote continuity of recovery. The position offers a clear pathway for professional development: deepen proficiency in psychiatric assessment tools, trauma-informed care, pharmacology, and evidence-based therapies, while pursuing specialty certifications and leadership opportunities within high-demand behavioral health environments. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll have access to a generous completion or sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocations, and potential contract extensions based on performance and location needs. You’ll benefit from comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated clinical and recruitment teams as you travel and adapt to new facilities, shifts, and patient populations.
Our partner company is grounded in empowering clinicians, fostering a supportive work culture, and investing in ongoing career advancement. You’ll find mentorship, continuous education, and structured pathways that help you broaden your scope of practice while maintaining balance and well-being. The community you join is committed to your growth, recognizing your expertise, and pairing you with resources that enable you to thrive both professionally and personally.
