Psychedelic Nursing information

What is psychedelic nursing?

Psychedelic nursing is a specialized field where nurses support patients undergoing psychedelic-assisted therapies, such as those involving psilocybin or ketamine. These nurses provide medical care, monitor patients for safety, and offer emotional support before, during, and after psychedelic sessions. They also help educate patients, collaborate with therapists, and ensure a safe, therapeutic environment. As the use of psychedelic medicines grows in mental health treatment, the role of psychedelic nurses is becoming increasingly important.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a psychedelic nurse?

To thrive as a Psychedelic Nurse, you need a nursing degree (RN or higher), clinical experience in mental health or palliative care, and knowledge of psychedelic-assisted therapies. Familiarity with electronic health records, monitoring vital signs, and certifications such as Basic Life Support (BLS) or specific psychedelic therapy training are often required. Exceptional empathy, active listening, and emotional resilience are crucial soft skills for supporting patients through altered states and integration. These skills enable safe, ethical, and compassionate care during sensitive treatment sessions, ensuring patient well-being and therapeutic effectiveness.

What are some common challenges faced by nurses working in psychedelic-assisted therapy settings?

Nurses in psychedelic-assisted therapy often face unique challenges, such as creating a safe and supportive environment for patients undergoing altered states of consciousness. They must closely monitor patients for both psychological and physical responses, adapting quickly to unexpected situations. Additionally, nurses collaborate closely with therapists, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals, requiring excellent communication and teamwork skills. Managing documentation and adhering to strict legal and ethical guidelines is also essential in this evolving field.

Job description

SIGN-ON BONUS & RELOCATION ASSISTANCE (if necessary) Psychiatric Treatment Provider — Lonerock Clinic

Roseburg, Oregon | Part-Time | PA-C, NP, or MD/DO

Serve those who served. Practice the future of mental health.

This is one of the rare positions where the work is genuinely noble and genuinely fun.

You’ll provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), Spravato (esketamine), IV ketamine, and IM ketamine to a patient population that includes veterans and community members — people who have often exhausted conventional treatment options and are finally finding relief. Few jobs in medicine give you the chance to watch someone sleep through the night for the first time in a decade. This one does, regularly.

About the role

Roseburg is the heart of Oregon’s veteran community, and our clinic delivers cutting-edge ketamine modalities to those who need them most. You’ll work alongside an experienced clinical team — PRATI-certified therapists, KAP coordinators, MAs, and a supervising medical team — in a practice built specifically around safe, effective, and deeply human delivery of these treatments.

About Lonerock Clinic

We’re a women-owned, LGBTQ+-inclusive integrative practice combining primary care, psychiatry, and innovative mental health treatment. Our Roseburg location extends our REMS-certified Spravato program and full ketamine service line to southern Oregon, with a particular focus on serving veterans alongside the broader community.

What you’ll do
  • Provide medical oversight and dosing for Spravato, IV ketamine, IM ketamine, and KAP sessions
  • Conduct intake evaluations, screening, and individualized treatment planning
  • Collaborate closely with our therapy team during KAP sessions
  • Support REMS compliance for our Spravato program
  • Help build a clinical culture that veterans and civilians alike feel safe in
  • Stay engaged with the rapidly evolving evidence base in psychedelic-assisted treatment
Who you are
  • Licensed PA-C, NP (PMHNP preferred), or MD/DO with Oregon licensure
  • DEA in good standing
  • Trained in (or eager to train in) ketamine modalities — we’ll support your training pathway. Often, former ED or primary care professionals excel at this job
  • Comfortable with veteran-specific clinical considerations (PTSD, MST, TBI) — or motivated to develop that competency
  • Calm, present, and genuinely interested in psychedelic medicine done right
  • Someone who takes the work seriously without taking yourself too seriously
What we offer both Part Time (20-34 hrs/week) and Full Time
  • Competitive compensation
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays
  • CME allowance and funded training in KAP, Spravato, and ketamine modalities
  • 401(k) with employer contribution
  • Malpractice coverage
  • A schedule built for sustainable, present, high-quality care
  • Colleagues who are at the actual forefront of psychiatric medicine

Compensation is $110,000 - $175,000 for full-time and pro-rated if part-time based on number of hours worked.

Lonerock Clinic is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building an inclusive environment for staff and patients alike.
