Pediatric Psychiatric Nurses

As the Dartmouth Health system continues to grow to meet the needs of our rural New England region’s pediatric patients, we are opening a new, six-bed Inpatient Pediatric Psychiatric Care Unit at our academic facility, the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. This new unit will support patients from 12-17 years of age, so we are seeking Pediatric RNs and Psychiatric RNs with a passion for supporting adolescent patients needing behavioral health care. The successful candidate will be flexible and have a team-orientated approach to care. The shifts will rotate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

If you are a pediatric or psychiatric nurse looking for that “right fit” for your next career move, you should take a closer look at the Pediatric services at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Working at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD)you will find our diverse pediatric unit can be a fulfilling and strategic career choice for the nurse who wants to get more out of their career. Our units care for behavioral health, medical-surgical, step-down, and critical-care level pediatric patients on the same integrated floor. At CHaD, you can have:

• Professional Growth – Our pediatric units often allow our nurses to take on a wider variety of responsibilities. This exposure can help you build a versatile skill set, improve critical thinking, and develop a deeper understanding of pediatric care.
• Team Collaboration – Our pediatric teams often foster closer collaboration and camaraderie among staff. You may find more opportunities to learn from colleagues, share responsibilities, and contribute to a supportive work environment.
• Work-Life Balance – Smaller units can sometimes offer more predictable schedules and less stress compared to large, high-pressure hospitals, contributing to a healthier work-life balance.
