Banner Health invests in our nurses by training them to confidently and safely deliver excellent patient care. Banner Health is committed to developing the careers of our team members. We care about you, your nursing career today and your future. Great options and great opportunities.

Banner Health's Bedside Registered Nurses (RN) can grow within the system through different programs and opportunities. The Academic Division of Banner Health has implemented a Clinical Ladder for RN's. The Clinical Ladder is an evidence-based recognition program designed to acknowledge nurses' efforts to grow their practice and contribute to the nursing profession. This is an opportunity to calibrate expertise and education into system-based levels of achievement. Compensation incentives are incorporated as you progress on the ladder and engage in professional development opportunities.

The Behavioral Health Pavilion at the Banner University Medical Center - South Campus, is a Level 1 Psychiatric facility in Tucson, AZ. Meeting the needs of the SMI population, our team provides patients a safe, supportive environment that fosters healing and facilitates a return to the highest possible level of independence. Other services include; crisis stabilization, psychiatric assessments, 24-hours psychiatric & nursing care, expressive arts therapy, group therapy, family support therapy, medication management and a separate behavioral health unit within the Emergency Department. RN to patient ratio: 8:1 or less. You can become an integral member of our patient's team, along with psychiatric doctors, case managers, pharmacists, BH specialists, and security officers.

As a Behavioral Health RN on the West DeEx unit, you will assist with a wide variety of behavioral health related patients. This unit is a hybrid of our voluntary patients (SMI, addictions, detox, etc) along with geriatric psych patients requiring full medical care and involuntary patients with severe behavioral health needs. On this team, you will spend your days completing nursing assessments, medication administration, daily living activities, keeping patients safe, and encouraging patients to learn new coping skills and/or attend group sessions. Nurses who love variety and all the different aspects of behavioral health will do amazing on this team!
