APP - PMHNP Inpatient Consult Liaison (Experience Required)

About the position

Benefis Health System is seeking an inpatient Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to join our dedicated team of behavioral health providers in Great Falls, Montana. This position is full-time, requiring 122 shifts annually with a block schedule of 5 days on (M-F), 7 days off, 2 days on (Sat-Sun), and 7 days off. Working days typically involve providing onsite services along with 24-hour call responsibilities. Onsite services include playing an integral role on our consult-liaison team, providing care to patients on our inpatient behavioral health unit and medical floors, consulting with hospitalists and ER physicians, and taking calls for admissions from our ER and surrounding area hospitals. Common consults include those for capacity, delirium, behavioral disturbances associated with dementia, as well as depression and anxiety (often in the context of suicidal ideation or recent overdose). Overnight call is from home with access to EMR and does not usually involve coming in to the hospital. There is also an opportunity to work in additional areas during 'off' days if desired. Mentorship and oversight will be provided by an experienced inpatient Psychiatrist who is onsite.
