FLSA: Non-Exempt
DEFINITION

Under direction, performs and provides professional nursing and psychiatric care to individuals striving to overcome behavioral health challenges; collaborates with other medical staff and interdisciplinary health treatment teams to evaluate and prepare treatment plans; and performs related duties as assigned.
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED

Receives direction from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Psychiatric Nurse I: This is the entry-level classification in the Psychiatric Nurse series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine professional nursing and psychiatric care. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at Psychiatric Nurse II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Psychiatric Nurse II: This journey level classification is responsible for performing direct nursing services in support of the County's in-patient or out-patient psychiatric health facilities. Positions at this level exercise judgment and initiative in their assigned tasks, receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the Senior Psychiatric Nurse in that the latter performs the more complex work assigned to the series, such as reviewing psychiatric nursing work practices and providing lead technical and functional direction over lower level staff.

Psychiatric Nurse III: This is the advanced journey-level classification in the Psychiatric Nurse series responsible for the oversight of psychiatric nursing services at an assigned clinic and/or performing the most complex and specialized work assigned to the series. Incumbents regularly work on tasks which are varied and complex, requiring considerable discretion and independent judgement. Positions in the classification rely on experience and judgement to perform assigned duties. Assignments are given with general guidelines and incumbents are responsible for establishing objectives, timelines, and methods to deliver services. Work is typically reviewed upon completion for soundness, appropriateness and conformity to policy and requirements.
Positions in the Psychiatric Nurse class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II- and III-levels may be filled by advancement from the I- and II-levels, respectively; progression to the next level in the series is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II-level.
