Like its namesake location, Four Winds Hospital Saratoga Springs is located in NY, just ½ hour away from Albany and, along with its sister facility in Four Winds Hospital Westchester, form the backbone of Katonah and Saratoga Spring?s Healthcare System. It is an 88 bed inpatient medical center specialized in mental health services with a multidisciplinary staff that offers inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient services for children, adolescents and adults of the community. These services are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and licensed by the New York State Office of Mental Health. The impatient services are prepared to deal with disorders such as mood and thought disorders, depression, dual diagnosis, eating disorders, abuse, anxiety disorders and psychological trauma. Additionally, short term intensive programs are offered as an alternative by the outpatient services: the Adolescent After-school Intensive Outpatient Program (directed to young people aged 13 through 17), the Adult Partial Hospital Program and Intensive Outpatient Program (for patients 18 and older). All patients receive the attention of dedicated psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, clinical social workers, masters-level teachers, creative/expressive art therapists and health workers.
Interested? In that case, you should know that Four Winds Hospital Saratoga Springs currently has openings for registered nurses for the evening and night shifts, but remember: this is a mental health center, and therefore, there is a preference for candidates that have experience in this area. Unfortunately, the information provided at the website is rather scarce, so you might be taking a little bit of a leap of faith when you submit your application online. Of course, you can always call them on the phone and find out a little more. But on the bright side, you do get information about the benefits offered, such as tuition assistance, pension plan, 401(k) savings plan, etc.
