Hello I work on a Behavioral Health Unit, and I do work with client's going through different types of addictions. Sometimes they can be a little hard to deal with, but overall at the end of the day I feel that I have done what I can do to help them get through their recovery. I'm a nurse, and I'm currently working on my Graduate Certification in Addictions at Kaplan University. I think it's about five courses that you have to take to get the certification. I will be moving back out to Colorado in maybe another year or so not looking forward to the cold weather, but hopefully the job outlook will be ok when I do move back that way. Goodluck

I'm a new nurse too, and I was able to find a job outside of were I live. If possible you might have to expand your search, and work in a different county. I got a job on a Behavioral Health unit, and I'm happy because this is the job I wanted. I also got a job offer from a nursing home, but you would be in charge of like 40 patients. I feel that this is just too much for me to handle as a new nurse with no med-surg background. Goodluck and do not give up.
