I work in the non-profit sector as a staff nurse in a variety of settings, as I work through an agency. One setting is a community mental health clinic, where I am responsible for medication management for clients who are severely mentally ill, case management between clients, providers, and pharmacies, and as a nurse educator for clients, families, and staff. In another setting, I work in a crisis clinic where clients come to spend up to 3 days while experiencing an acute episode or detox from ETOH or drugs. The sister unit, where I work about 1/4 of the time, provides up to 2 weeks of stabilization for clients with adjustments to their medications or who are experiencing their first acute episodes or new symptoms.

Are you referring to just "public health" entities or all of us who work in not-for-profit organizations?
