Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Nurse Supervisor still perform direct client care?
Yes. In addition to supervisory tasks, the role includes hands-on responsibilities such as medication administration, laboratory specimen collection, triage of medical concerns, and first-line response to emergencies.
How is on-call shared with the Director of Nursing?
The Nurse Supervisor participates in a shared nursing on-call rotation and assumes complete departmental coverage—including staffing decisions—whenever the Director of Nursing is unavailable.
Is experience limited to detox settings acceptable, or is broader behavioral-health background sufficient?
A minimum of one year in either a behavioral-health setting or a residential detoxification program meets the stated requirement. Direct detox experience is helpful but not mandatory if the behavioral-health background is present.
What recurring quality or compliance tasks fall under this position?
The role regularly performs medication-room audits, reviews narcotic count sheets and temperature logs, completes monthly glucometer checks, supports CLIA-related activities, and audits prior-day admissions for nursing compliance.
How closely does the Nurse Supervisor work with behavioral health technicians?
The position acts as an ongoing resource for behavioral-health technicians, especially on off-shifts, and functions as the formal liaison between the nursing and technician teams.
Are evening or non-standard shifts part of the regular expectation?
While the core schedule is a rotating 4×10 pattern, availability for evening, alternate, or weekend shifts is required to meet operational and regulatory needs.
