Brattleboro Retreat
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Nurse in Psychiatry, based in Brattleboro, Vermont, where your clinical expertise meets a community hungry for compassionate care and hopeful recovery. In this travel-oriented opportunity, you’ll support patients across a continuum of care, from crisis stabilization to ongoing community reintegration, making a tangible difference every shift. The Vermont landscape is more than a backdrop; it’s a partner in care—open skies, seasonal beauty, and a pace that invites reflection, resilience, and renewed purpose. From the tranquil rivers and the rolling hills to the vibrant fall foliage that colors the Green Mountains, Vermont offers a restorative setting that complements demanding clinical work and sustains the well-being of caregivers who choose to serve here.
Location Benefits: Brattleboro sits at the gateway to Vermont’s Green Mountains, a town known for a thriving arts scene, farmers markets, scenic walks along the Connecticut River, and easy access to outdoor pursuits year-round. Working here, you’ll enjoy a supportive, close-knit medical community, cost-effective living, and a balanced lifestyle that makes it easier to recharge between assignments. And because this role is part of a broader national travel program, you’ll also have the exciting option to work in varied locations across the United States, expanding your clinical repertoire, building professional networks, and enriching your resume with diverse settings—from quiet rural facilities to fast-paced urban hospitals. The opportunity to return to Brattleboro between assignments gives you stability while still offering the excitement of new environments.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Psych RN, you’ll assess, plan, implement, and evaluate mental health care for patients across age groups, collaborating with psychiatrists, social workers, and nursing teams. Core duties include crisis assessment, medication monitoring, safety planning, de-escalation strategies, intake assessments, discharge planning, and therapeutic interventions rooted in evidence-based practice. You’ll document care in electronic health records, participate in team rounds, and tailor plans to individual patient goals, including recovery-oriented approaches such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. This role offers substantial professional growth: opportunities to expand specialization in psych, take on lead nurse responsibilities, mentor newer travelers, and pursue continuing education with employer support. In addition to a competitive compensation package, you’ll receive a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions to deepen expertise in psychiatric care. You’ll have reliable, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring help is at hand whether you’re on-site or navigating a new assignment. Guaranteed hours are 36 per week, with weekly pay ranging from $2,006 to $2,173, reflecting the value you bring and the geographic considerations of each assignment. Start date is 01/05/2026, and the duration is defined in weeks, offering flexibility to align with personal and professional plans. The combination of clinical variety, patient impact, and structured support creates a framework where your skills can flourish and your resilience can grow.
Company Values: The employer is deeply committed to empowering its staff through clear pathways for career advancement, mentorship, and a supportive work environment that respects work-life balance. You’ll join teams that value your voice, celebrate diverse clinical backgrounds, and invest in your professional journey through structured onboarding, ongoing training, and leadership opportunities that recognize clinical skill, compassion, and resilience. Our culture centers on collaboration, transparency, and a shared mission to improve mental health outcomes for patients and families across communities. You’ll be part of a network that prioritizes lifelong learning, wellness, and the professional dignity of every caregiver, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and supported as you grow.
