looking for an environment that is not an office or hospital
setting? Are you looking for the ability to make connections with
your patients and work within an innovative and person-centered
domain? Workdays can be a challenge at times, however, with a pace
slower than a hospital setting and the ability to work with people
on a long-term basis, Open Sky nurses are provided a unique
opportunity for those who are looking for a clinically based,
supportive and nurturing role. This unique position is shared
between Open Sky's Residential Recovery Program (OASIS) and our
Residential Youth Group Programs (Futures and Ives). The Oasis
program partners with Harrington Hospital to provide 6-12 months of
residential recovery services to 16 adults who have both mental
health and substance use disorders. Oasis is not a typical group
home environment - our model is to support all paths to wellness
and recovery including yoga, meditation, smart recovery, therapy
animals, 12-step programs, and more. Our Youth Group Care homes
provide comprehensive treatment in a group care setting for youth
(males and females) who have a history of psychiatric
hospitalizations. The goal of the program is to work
collaboratively with the youth and family to enhance personal,
social, and independent living to prepare for family reunification
or a transition to independent living. The program utilizes a
Wraparound Philosophy which helps family, support members, and
service providers work together to support the family and youth.
Open Sky Nurses are the cornerstone of our treatment teams! They
provide guidance, medical oversight and individualized consultation
to employees who support some of the most vulnerable members of the
Commonwealth. This position is shared between three residential
programs located in Worcester, Douglas, and Northborough. Travel
between these programs is required. Other Key Responsibilities:
- Provide training and consultation to programs regarding medical
issues, procedures and techniques, and health and wellness
practices.
- Assess and provide individualized education related to person's
health and disease processes; reinforce wellness and preventative
health measures.
- Review clinical records on a regular basis to ensure adequate
services and supports are provided, including any applicable
medical interventions, tests, or preventative care as
necessary.
- Provide oversight to the Medication Administration Program and
ensure compliance with applicable regulations.Qualifications
- Registered Nurse licensed in Massachusetts, required.
- Previous experience with adult/youth with mental health and/or
substance use disorders, highly preferred.
- Excellent assessment, documentation, and verbal communication
skills required.

required.Compensation details: 35 Hourly
