Job Description
Step into a rewarding journey as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in Behavioral Health / Psychiatric care, with a focused opportunity in Lawton, Oklahoma. This assignment is designed for seasoned professionals who are passionate about delivering compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care and driving positive outcomes for patients navigating complex behavioral health needs. You’ll join a dedicated team where every shift is an opportunity to uplift lives, support families, and strengthen community resilience. Begin your impact on 12/29/2025, for an extended assignment with the potential for extension, while earning a competitive weekly compensation that recognizes your expertise and dedication. Weekly pay ranges from $1,952 to $2,073, with guaranteed 36 hours per week, ensuring you have stability as you provide patient-centered care across a diverse population. Alongside competitive pay, you’ll explore a role that reinforces professional growth, enhances clinical skills, and broadens your clinical perspective across dynamic behavioral health settings.
Oklahoma is more than a destination; it’s a place to savor natural beauty and vibrant communities. Lawton offers a friendly, welcoming environment with access to outdoor escapes and scenic landscapes just beyond your doorstep. Nearby you’ll find the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, where trails, wildlife, and breathtaking vistas invite you to unwind after demanding shifts. The state’s rich Western heritage, cultural events, and engaging local cuisines add color to your days off. Our team also values the opportunity to work across multiple U.S. locations when assignments require it, giving you exposure to varied patient populations and different care settings while still providing a consistent, supportive framework. This combination of a stable base in Lawton and optional experiences elsewhere helps you grow as a psychiatric nurse while maintaining the balance you seek.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to maximize impact and professional satisfaction. As a Behavioral Health / Psychiatric RN, you’ll conduct comprehensive patient assessments, document clinical findings, and implement individualized care plans in collaboration with psychiatrists, social workers, and multidisciplinary teams. You’ll monitor vital signs, administer medications, manage crisis interventions, and participate in de-escalation strategies to ensure patient safety and dignity. You’ll coordinate discharge planning, patient and family education, and referrals to community resources, fostering continuity of care beyond the hospital walls. The role offers meaningful opportunities for professional development: enhance assessment skills, gain experience with co-occurring disorders, and pursue specialty certifications that align with your career goals. You’ll have a clear pathway toward expanding clinical responsibilities and leadership opportunities as you demonstrate clinical excellence and compassionate care. In addition to robust clinical duties, you’ll benefit from a range of competitive advantages designed to support you throughout your travel experience: a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to help ease the transition, and options for assignment extensions should you wish to stay longer and deepen your impact. The package also includes comprehensive support, with 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team to address housing, onboarding, credentialing, and any on-the-road needs that arise. You’ll never navigate challenges alone; our travel experts are available around the clock to ensure a smooth, secure, and satisfying assignment from day one through completion.
Our company values empower you to advance your career while fostering a genuinely supportive work environment. We are committed to professional growth, mentorship, and ongoing education that helps you stay at the forefront of behavioral health care. You’ll join a culture that places patient advocacy, integrity, and teamwork at the core of everyday practice. The organization emphasizes work-life balance, open channels for feedback, and a collaborative atmosphere where your insights and ideas are welcomed and acted upon. As you contribute to better mental health outcomes for individuals and families, you’ll find opportunities to expand your expertise, take on more complex cases, and collaborate with experienced colleagues who share your dedication to compassionate care. This is not only a job but a pathway to long-term fulfillment, with a supportive network that values your contributions and celebrates your progress.
