Princeton House Behavioral Health – Outpatient is seeking a Registered Nurse (RN) to work within the Child and Adolescent unit. We provide a safe, supportive place where children and adolescents can express themselves, learn new coping skills, and begin to feel more in control.

We offer two levels of outpatient care for young people: partial hospitalization (full-day) and intensive outpatient (half-day) programs. Each child receives a thorough evaluation from a board-certified psychiatrist or advanced practice nurse to determine the right level of care and the best program for their needs. Eighteen-year-olds who are still in high school are included in this program.
