Resourceful Inpatient Psychiatric Nurse and proven team-leader with expertise in mental health assessments, crisis de-escalation, and patient-centered care.

I’m Clint, a psychiatric nurse born and raised in Northern Arizona. Currently in school to obtain my MSN and PMH-NP, I am a passionate psychiatric nurse who takes safety and evidence-based practice seriously. I am a proven team leader, preceptor, mentor, and professional example in the psychiatric inpatient setting. I possess exemplary de-escalation skills,  and a dependable,  collaborative and team-building skillset. I understand that maintaining safety on a unit starts with developing authentic rapport with patients, reducing tension and building trust. I believe taking the time to understand patients and their unique biopsychosocial profile fosters a healing and therapeutic relationship, and reduces the probability of violence. I also believe in problem-solving rather than complaining, and have proven and sought-after skills in team building, conflict resolution, and safety. I am passionate about psychopharmacology, and have a perfect track record with medication administration and performing multiple checks to ensure accuracy in dosage, route, patient, and timing. As an inpatient psychiatric nurse, I have experience with patients with all presentations and diagnoses within the realm of psychiatric medicine. I am punctual, reliable, and strive to be flexible in order to give my all the every facility I have the opportunity to work in.
