Responsibilities
Registered Nurses provide medical and psychiatric support through home visits, including care planning, medication administration, and crisis intervention. They work closely with clinical teams to coordinate care and provide health education to clients in the community.
Requirements
Candidates must hold a valid Registered Nurse license and possess an Associate’s, Bachelor’s, or Master’s degree in Nursing. A valid driver’s license, current car insurance, and access to a personal vehicle are required for community-based travel.
Full job description
At Thresholds, we believe in meeting people where they’re at – in their environment and on their journey to recovery. Registered Nurses provide medical and psychiatric support where it makes the most impact – in a person’s community. Working as a Registered Nurse for Thresholds provides an opportunity for work/life balance while meeting the needs of clients who experience mental illness and oftentimes lack access to adequate health care.
Through care planning, assessment, and implementation, you will be an integral part of a client’s growth and recovery. You will work closely with clinical teams including consulting psychiatrists and medical doctors. Part of your role with the clinical team will be providing health education and training on topics relevant to the clients' overall wellbeing.
You will remove barriers to healthcare through home visits where you will develop treatment plans to meet needs, administer medication, schedule appointments, and coordinate care. You will also attend to medically related emergencies or crises providing intervention as appropriate. You will not only see clients’ progress, but will log their medical care.
The culture at Thresholds is collaborative and supportive, providing you with the tools and resources you need for the best client care. Opportunities for training and professional development, including nurse supervision, will deepen your knowledge and expand your clinical skills in harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and other evidence-based practices. This invaluable experience is enhanced by a standard business-hours schedule, with rare weekend and evening appointments.
To succeed in this role, you need:
Passion for mental health advocacy
Desire to provide compassionate care
Effective communication and relationship-building skills
Good writing skills
Strong time management and organization
A valid driver’s license, current car insurance, and daily access to your own car
Willingness to provide transportation to clients
Education and experience required for this role:
Registered Nurse license
Associate’s, Bachelor’s or Master’s degree from an accredited school of Nursing.
What sets Thresholds apart:
Competitive pay – Base Salary: $85,000 - $95,000
Based on education and experience
Generous PTO (9 federal holidays, 8 days of sick leave, 15-22 days personal and vacation)
Dental insurance, vision insurance, choice of 4 medical insurance plans
403(b) retirement plan with 3% employer match
Robust employee assistance program (EAP)
Mileage reimbursement
Cell phone reimbursement (up to $50/month)
Public service loan forgiveness
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for Nursing available at no cost
Reimbursement for professional licensure and license renewal

Each client works with our staff to set their own specific short-term goals and objectives, based on their needs, desires, and level of self-sufficiency. Recovery from mental illnesses and substance use is possible. Recovery is a process of finding and living a satisfying and meaningful life, as one defines it for oneself. We assist our clients as they work to reclaim a positive sense of self, and discover their own potential, gifts, and skills.
