Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Responsibilities

It takes passion and dedication to meet the behavioral health needs of our community. Through a unique collaboration between Universal Health Services and Providence Health Services, Inland Northwest Behavioral Health became the first free‑standing mental health hospital in the city of Spokane, Washington.

The 100‑bed hospital, located near the Sacred Heart Medical Campus, nestled into the hillside, consolidates the public areas and service spaces on the first floor. The facility includes a dining room, a gym, and each of the four units has two activity rooms—one for louder activities, such as music and movies, and another for quiet activities. There are also two outdoor courtyards, as well as offices and administrative spaces.

The X‑shaped design separates the 100 patient beds into four 25‑bed wings and centralizes staff for security and operational efficiencies. Three of the inpatient units are designated for adults (18+) and the fourth unit is specifically designed for adolescents ages 13‑17. It is the hospital’s aim to provide a “home‑like environment” to promote a holistic, patient‑centered approach to mental health. Through the integration of architecture, artwork, and landscaping, the facility overcomes the stigma associated with the care provided within, and provides a safe, encouraging, and aesthetically pleasing place where people can heal.

• The PMHNP will work closely with the Medical Director, Clinical Staff, and Nursing Staff to provide comprehensive mental health assessments, determine diagnosis plans, prescribe treatments, and manage mental health care regimens in collaboration with the designated physician.

• Graduate from an accredited Nurse Practitioner program.
• Current Washington State NP license with prescriptive authority, including DEA licensure as required by the State.
• Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certification.
• BLS, Handle with Care, and Verbal De‑Escalation certification, provided by INBH.

• A minimum of two (2) years of experience in primary care or urgent care.
