Job Description

For the past four years, Pride Institute has been recognized as one of Newsweek’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers. We have also been honored by the MINNESOTA’S Best STAR TRIBUNE READERS’ CHOICE survey every year since its inception in 2021 with the silver award in the Recovery/Treatment Center category.

In addition to our clinical team, made up of counselors, mental health clinicians, and therapists, our RTC also employs an experienced nursing/tech team who provide 24/7 compassionate medical care to our residential clients. Our Nurses and Behavioral Health Techs epitomize teamwork and service excellence.

We have an excellent opportunity for a Registered Nurse (RN) to join us in providing continuous capable and compassionate care for our clients at our residential treatment center in Eden Prairie, MN. We are currently looking to hire Per Diem Registered Nurse (RN) with a flexible schedule to join the team! 

Our Nurses are responsible for a multitude of duties, tasks, and last-minute decisions, including:

• establishing and maintaining a calm and quiet milieu so that our clients can rest and feel safe
• performing nursing assessments and documenting client information and nursing care in the client record
• reassessing and documenting any changes in the client's condition in compliance with facility policy
• accurately administering medication to clients
• recognizing behaviors and setting appropriate limits in clear, concise, and non-judgmental terms
• maintaining compliance with all hospital annual competencies, as well as CPR and First Aid
• providing pertinent feedback to the interdisciplinary treatment team regarding client response to therapy, treatment interventions and therapeutic objectives, as appropriate and necessary

As we look back on Pride Institute’s almost 38-year history of providing our clients with an inclusive and accepting place for recovery through evidence-based treatment for substance abuse, sexual health and mental health, we realize that Pride Institute’s services and advocacy are needed now more than ever! Our Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff in Eden Prairie and our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) staff in Uptown Minneapolis understand the issues the LGBTQIA+ community face, and our mission is to give clients the tools needed for addiction and mental health recovery.
