AMRTC is a tertiary care psychiatric hospital, accepting only committed patients as transfers from other community hospitals and facilities in the eight-county Twin Cities metropolitan area.  Our 200-bed inpatient mental health facility consists of eight 25-bed units. Two of these units are dedicated to the treatment of psychiatric patients with comorbid medical conditions, one is devoted to the management of “Rule 20” treat to competency patients; three units specializing in the treatment of high acuity behavioral disorders.  The remaining two units are general psychiatric units. Our average length of stay is about 100 days.

The mental health system in Minnesota is currently undergoing a radical transformation. All of the state hospitals except AMRTC are being replaced by community based, 16 bed “community behavioral health hospitals”.  AMRTC houses a centralized pre- admissions office for the new statewide system, and is poised to develop consultative televideo support of the 16 bed programs as they open. In addition, AMRTC is the site of an innovative program involving the hospital and several minnesota counties, that allows collaborative case management between the county and the hospital to occur very early in the course of the patient’s hospitalization.

Qualifications:   Possess Minnesota licensure and current registration as a registered nurse.  Have graduated from a program of study designed to prepare that individual for advanced practice as a family nurse practitioner.  Be certified with a national professional nursing organization as a nurse practitioner.  Have current authorization from the Minnesota Board of Nursing to prescribe drugs and therapeutic devices.

Nurses who work part-time and who work at least 50% of the time are eligible for health and dental insurance.  We also are offering to pay relocation cost of up to $12,500.
