Mid Level
Step into a meaningful, high-impact role as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where your clinical expertise will support patients navigating complex emotional and behavioral health challenges. This multiweek travel assignment invites you to apply your skills in acute and community-based psychiatric settings, delivering compassionate, evidence-based care that stabilizes crises, informs treatment plans, and promotes recovery. You’ll collaborate with psychiatrists, therapists, nursing colleagues, social workers, and families to create safe, person-centered care that respects dignity and autonomy. Beginning January 26, 2026, you’ll enjoy a guaranteed 40 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $2,349 to $2,481, reflecting your experience and the value you bring to the team. This is your chance to grow within psychiatric nursing, extend your clinical reach, and leave a lasting, positive imprint on the lives you touch.
Massachusetts is renowned for its blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and vibrant communities, and Pittsfield sits at the heart of the Berkshire region. While you’re delivering care, you’ll also have the chance to reconnect with nature and explore outdoor vistas just beyond your door—the Taconic and Berkshire hills offer hiking, cycling, and scenic drives year-round. In town, you can enjoy the charm of local farms, farm-to-table dining, and an arts scene that includes galleries, theaters, and musical performances that reflect the area’s creative spirit. The Berkshires also provide accessible weekend escapes to storied towns like Stockbridge and Great Barrington, ensuring a balanced rhythm between professional commitment and rejuvenating downtime. This setting complements your professional journey, giving you a backdrop that nurtures resilience, reflection, and a sense of belonging in a supportive community.
Beyond Pittsfield, the program provides the opportunity to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizon. You’ll gain exposure to diverse hospital and clinic environments, patient populations, and care models, enriching your clinical repertoire and adaptability. The travel experience includes streamlined onboarding, housing assistance, and the chance to build a broad network of colleagues nationwide. The ability to rotate through different units and locales means you’ll refine your assessment skills, crisis intervention techniques, and evidence-based treatment approaches while continuing to advance in psychiatric nursing. This variety not only strengthens your resumes but also enhances your capacity to deliver personalized care in any setting you encounter.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your professional growth and well-being. As a Psychiatric RN, you’ll perform comprehensive mental-status evaluations, administer and monitor psychiatric medications, and participate actively in treatment planning, group therapies, and discharge planning. You’ll apply de-escalation techniques during crises, implement trauma-informed and recovery-oriented practices, and advocate for patient rights and safety. You’ll document precisely, communicate clearly with the care team, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The position emphasizes ongoing professional development, with opportunities for certifications, training, and mentorship to deepen your expertise in psych care across various populations. In addition to a competitive base pay, you’ll receive a bonus program, housing assistance, and extension opportunities to continue your assignment if you choose. A core pillar of the role is the comprehensive support available from our team: 24/7 assistance for travel logistics, clinical questions, emergencies, or relocation concerns, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or at the bedside.
Company values center on empowering staff to reach higher levels of expertise and leadership. Our culture honors compassionate care, collaborative teamwork, and a nurturing environment where your career can advance at a pace that suits your goals. We’re committed to providing meaningful mentorship, clear pathways for advancement, and consistent recognition of hard work and impact.
