Behavioral health nurses are registered nurses who specialize in caring for patients with psychological and behavioral disorders. The terms behavioral health and mental health are often used interchangeably and the duties, patient populations, and work settings of a behavioral health nurse frequently overlap with those of a mental health or psychiatric nurse. Although it can be a stressful career path, behavioral health nursing can be very rewarding for those wanting to help patients suffering from mental illness and seeking an in-demand specialty with numerous opportunities.

Behavioral health nurses may hold Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), CPI Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI), Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse (PMHN-BC) or Certified Addictions Registered Nurse (CARN), among others.
