Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner- Residency Program

$118,300 - $150,000 / year
We are now accepting applications for our Spring 2026 Residency Year, which will begin around April 20, 2026. Click here to download the application and submit it to pnpresidency@jbfcs.org. The application deadline is rolling, with final decisions being made around March 20, 2026. Our year-long residency teaches Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners how to become clinical leaders at the agency and in the field of mental health. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Residency includes: Enhanced supervision and support, the heart of our NPP Residency Program. Residents spend the brunt of their time in precepted clinical experiences, where they receive dedicated supervision from seasoned NPPs and psychiatrists who provide individualized supervision throughout the day, including evenings. Residents also work in specialty rotations, where they gain experience providing care to a diversity of clients, with regular supervision and support. In all clinical experiences, residents gradually build their caseloads to avoid the “sink or swim” situation that newly graduated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Residents typically encounter. Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Residency Program encourages leadership and the ability to tackle larger issues related to mental healthcare. Residents take part in weekly didactic sessions to review and discuss stimulating readings, guidelines, case studies, and other learning materials to supplement their clinical development as Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners. Residents also participate in regular Quality Improvement (QI) experiences, identifying and addressing larger trends impacting mental health care at the agency and beyond. These weekly QI and didactics sessions also provide residents additional supervision and peer support, greatly decreasing the isolation and stress of being a new Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. To provide you with diverse clinical experiences, the residency will include different settings and populations. Residents must be willing and able to travel to different sites throughout our agency, typically 1 day a week on-site. For example, residents may work at our programs in Riverdale, Bronx, and Midwood, Brooklyn. As part of their clinical and leadership development, we expect residents to embrace key roles in leading special projects, like providing therapy and/or meds-only treatment. Upon completion of the year-long Residency, Residency Graduates continue to work at the agency for at least a year as full-time Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, with salaries increasing accordingly. This way, Residency Graduates further develop the relationships formed during their Residency year with their clients, Residency Preceptors, therapists, and program directors. Residency Graduates continue to enjoy the rich collaborative culture of The Jewish Board. Residents are paid competitive salaries with full benefits. Salaries are commensurate with the reduced caseload as part of the residency program.
