Responsibilities include coordinating daily patient flow, overseeing admission and discharge processes, ensuring accurate documentation, and monitoring compliance with hospital policies and evidence-based practice guidelines.

You will help lead quality and performance improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing patient outcomes, patient experience, and staff engagement.

Dominion Hospital fosters a supportive culture grounded in respect, dignity, and empathy for patients and families.

As a Mental Health Clinical Nurse Coordinator RN, you will have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of individuals and families facing mental health challenges, while advancing your professional skills within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.

We offer opportunities for professional growth, including ongoing education in psychiatric and behavioral health nursing, leadership development, and advancement within the HCA Healthcare network.

This position is ideal for an experienced psychiatric or behavioral health RN who is passionate about mental health advocacy, enjoys working in a fast-paced inpatient or partial-hospitalization environment, and is committed to delivering safe, therapeutic care to vulnerable populations.
