Adult Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner – Correctional Mental Health

Full-Time | On-site | Correctional Facility

Make a Meaningful Impact in Correctional Mental Health

Step into a critical role where your expertise in psychiatric nursing meets an urgent need. This Nurse Practitioner position is based within a New Jersey correctional facility , where you’ll care for an underserved and often overlooked population. In this secure and structured setting, you'll deliver high-quality mental health care that can change the course of lives—both inside and beyond the walls.

What You’ll Do:

• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and assessments for individuals with a wide range of mental health conditions
• Develop personalized treatment plans, incorporating risk management and relapse prevention strategies
• Provide individual and/or group therapy sessions
• Prescribe and manage psychotropic medications in accordance with state laws and facility guidelines
• Collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and nursing staff
• Maintain accurate documentation of assessments, treatment progress, and discharge summaries
• Promote a patient-centered, respectful, and evidence-based approach to mental healthcare

What You Bring:

• Master’s Degree in Nursing (required)
• Current NP license in New Jersey
• Certification in Psychiatry or Mental Health
• Prescriptive authority with current DEA and CDS
• Strong clinical assessment and critical thinking skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• BLS certification (required)
• New graduates with the right background and passion for behavioral health are welcome to apply

Why This Role Stands Out:

• No two days are the same—encounter and treat a wide range of psychiatric and medical conditions, often in patients who haven’t had consistent access to care
• Be part of a collaborative care model that values respect, equity, and safety
• Play a vital role in improving mental health outcomes for a population that truly needs your care
