Virtual Remote Rn Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

Legion is a tech-enabled psychiatry network delivering world-class outpatient care and expanding access for patients using insurance. As we continue expanding in Utah, we’re hiring PMHNPs who want to practice evidence-based psychiatry with the time, support, and autonomy required to do it well.

Our innovative model combines the stability of a traditional hospital position with the flexibility of a private practice. We prioritize our clinicians' well-being and professional growth, offering a competitive compensation package and fostering a vibrant, collaborative culture.

Quality and patient experience are paramount to us. This means recruiting exceptional providers, championing evidence-based protocols, and displaying compassion in every patient interaction. Our exceptional PMHNPs operate with clinical autonomy, supported by experienced psychiatrists through consults and peer case reviews.

Our vision is to pioneer a new era of mental health by delivering world-class psychiatry. We believe in a future where every patient can access the compassionate psychiatric care they need, regardless of the insurance they have.

We are looking for a clinically excellent and patient-centered psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner. Ideal candidates will embrace our vision of expanding access to world-class psychiatric care by embracing technology and serving patients across all insurance types.
