Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Washington | Full-Time (4/10 Schedule)
Are you a seasoned clinician who finds fulfillment in the "hard" cases? Do you believe that the most vulnerable members of our society—those caught in the revolving door of the justice system—deserve the highest standard of psychiatric care?
The Mission: Closing the Gap
You won’t just be "seeing patients"—you will be building a clinical bridge. You will manage high-acuity individuals transitioning from city and county jails back into the community. By providing stable medication management, forensic diversion, and integrated "physical-psych" triage, you ensure that medical crises don't derail psychiatric progress.
Practice Highlights: Quality Over Quantity
We have designed this role to protect your license and your work-life balance. We prioritize clinical depth over volume.
- The 4/10 Model: Enjoy a permanent 4-day work week with no call, no weekends, and no after-hours requirements.
- Deliberate Scheduling: 90-minute new evaluations and 30-minute follow-ups. You will see only 12–15 patients per day.
- Field Engagement: Partner with forensic teams for "warm hand-offs" in jails and community settings—meeting patients where they are to build essential rapport.
- Strict Boundaries: Our Medical Director manages crisis calls, ensuring your time off is truly yours.
The Gateway to the Olympics

- Community Connection: Experience the charm of a coastal town with a low cost of living compared to Seattle, while being just a ferry ride away from Victoria, B.C.
- Safety & Security: We even provide a Life Flight membership for all staff, ensuring your family has peace of mind in our beautiful rural setting.
