Psychiatric / Behavioral TN Visa Jobs

Canadian Psych RNs, matched with US hospitals hiring under TN status.

Why US hospitals are hiring Canadian Psych RN talent

Demand for psychiatric and behavioral health nursing is rising fast across inpatient units and telemedicine models alike, driven by a broader US shortage of behavioral health providers at every level.

This shortage means facilities are increasingly open to both full-time and contract Canadian RNs, and to nurses whose experience includes telehealth behavioral care, not just inpatient units.

What the role looks like

Credentialing & what US employers look for

No certification is strictly mandatory, though crisis intervention training such as CPI is a plus. Telehealth behavioral health experience is increasingly relevant to US employers.
