Registered Nurse Inpatient Child and Adolescent Behavior Health

Job Description:

The Registered Nurse (RN) is a professional caregiver who assumes responsibility and accountability for assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating care of patients. The staff RN utilizes the nursing process by use of technology, therapeutic intervention, evidence-based practice and coordination of care with other health team members.

RNs at Intermountain Healthcare are committed to providing patient centered care while demonstrating our values and mission. If you are interested in contributing to our mission of helping people live the healthiest lives possible- come join our team!

We are growing! We are currently building a new, 105,000+ square foot Primary Children’s Hospital Behavioral Health Center in Taylorsville, Utah opening in September 2025. Serving ages 4-18 with behavioral and mental health diagnoses, we offer outpatient clinics, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and inpatient care.

In addition to providing our existing mental health services, we are expanding our programming to include:

• Fifty percent more inpatient beds (36 total), including the state’s first dedicated unit to safely care for youth with autism and other neuro developmental needs.

• Family-centered behavioral healthcare, where family members will be actively engaged in their child’s care and able to stay overnight.

• Outpatient spaces, designed for more intensive outpatient treatment, day treatment, and group therapy programs.

• A new Crisis Walk-In Center, providing one streamlined access point for crisis care—and replacing local hospital emergency departments as a family’s only option during crisis situations
