We are partnered with the State of Tennessee to administer PASRR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) assessments.

Qualifications:

  • Four or more years of experience working in a mental health setting.
  • Must have a Master's degree in a human services field or be licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN).
