Thanks in advance, any opinions are appreciated.
Check out Montevista. I worked there per diem for one year. I had like 8 mos of floor experience before applying there. It's not a bad gig. It has its stressors, but much different from the hospital. The nurses that I encountered were pretty nice. I also worked per diem at Spring Mountain, for one month. Go check out Montevista. Really sell yourself during the interview, to get over that hump of not having any psych experience.
Just thought of another place that I really liked. It's Mojave Mental Health. I loved that job. Some of the coolest people I have ever met. I worked there as a tech of sorts, before becoming a nurse. I know that they utilize nurses though. Good luck.
