I'm looking to work PRN in a psych facility near NO or Northshore area. I am a new RN. I am presently working at Greenbriar Community Care Center. I do everything from hanging IVs, drawing blood, wound care, to working with dementia, alzheimer's patients, and other geriatric mental disorders. The facility operates to serve a wide variety of client needs. Such as postop therapy and care, long term care, rehabilitation therapy services, including physical therapy, speech therapy and occupation therapy. A memory care unit is available for those suffering from Alzheimer's or experiencing other dementia issues. I graduated in Dec. of 08, passed my boards in March of 09, got a job at Greenbriar in April of 09 as a charge nurse, and became weekend supervisor in late June. I am a stand in for DON when needed. I love my job. I also love psych nursing. I work 2 16's on the weekend and have the whole week off. I would love a job PRN or PT in psych but there isn't much in this area that I can find. Please, if you know of any openings please let me know. The reason I was promoted so quickly asside from being a great nurse is that I have an extensive background in Management, and I enjoy people as much as they enjoy me. Please let me know if you know of anywhere I can get in.
