Looking for day shift, evenings, and weekends.

Northern Rivers is looking for talented Registered Nurses to meet the needs of our youth and adolescent patients with full‑time day or evening shifts available. Our nurses understand the population we serve—children in our care face challenges in four main risk factors: trauma, developmental disabilities, mental health, and juvenile justice. Adverse childhood experiences (ACES) increase risks for disease, disability, and early mortality;

97% of the children in our care have suffered at least one ACE, and 80% have experienced four or more. ACES include sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse/neglect, medical trauma, domestic violence, parental incarceration, criminal activity in the home, disruption in caregiving, and abuse due to sexual orientation or gender expression. Many of these issues repeat generation after generation. With this understanding, we are empowered to strengthen and provide foundational support on their path of growth, development, and independence.

We as nurses embrace the opportunity to be a vital and supportive partner in their development.

If you are a focused caregiver with excellent communication skills, we may be the right fit for you. No chaotic environment, an excellent work environment, and a dedicated team of professionals working with you.
