Psychiatric Nurses are MVPs but Often Miss Out on All-Star Royal Treatment

May 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Southfield, Michigan -- Psychiatric nurses are in such high demand that they command the same attention and clamor as is enjoyed by highly-acclaimed baseball free-agent stars.
When they are ready to enter the playing field, psychiatric nurses can demand the highest wages, flexible work schedules, performance bonuses, and long-term contract security.
The reason baseball stars usually fare better than psychiatric nurses is simply that baseball pros hire skilled agents to negotiate for them while some psychiatric nurses commit an error in the field by representing themselves.

“There’s no question that in the Allied Health field psychiatric nurses are in as much demand as star ball players are in demand in their field,” says Ronda Freeman, President of VivIO Counseling and Psychology Consulting Group in Southfield, MI. “The critical difference is that registered psychiatric nurses don’t have the wherewithal to find the perfect job match that will make them a hall-of-fame performer.”

VivIO (pronounced “viv-EYE-oh”) works with Allied Health facilities to identify the most competent and qualified candidate for a job opening and works with job seekers to find the position that best matches their skills.

Psychiatric nursing is a specialty area of nursing that requires a sound knowledge of mental health, assessment and crisis management skills, interpersonal therapeutics and counseling skills, psychosocial rehabilitation, and community based, family focused care.
“We can offer psychiatric nurses options they’ve never dreamed about,” stresses Freeman. “As their agent, we will negotiate flexible work schedules, high wages, the best benefit packages, and locate them in a job they will absolutely love! We have the relationships and contacts needed to find the perfect match. It is impossible for a psychiatric nurse candidate to know all the players in the field because there are so many. But because VivIO has  the contacts, we look forward to hitting a home run every time we go to bat.”

As one of the top career consultants in the Allied Health Field, VivIO never gives up until it finds the perfect match between the job seeker and hiring company. And VivIO professionals remain in contact with their psychiatric nurse all-stars after placement to make sure the working environment remains over the years all that it was hoped to be from day one.

“An unhappy ballplayer creates bad chemistry in the locker room,” concludes Freeman. “It is horrible to go to a job every day that you despise and work with people who dislike you. But psychiatric nurses can be like all-star ballplayers and go to work every day to a job they love and enjoy performing. That’s what we make sure happens.”
