Program Aide -- Inpatient Behavioral Health Services

Answer 1

It involves helping to take care of patients in a mental hospital or in the psychiatric ward of a general hospital. The person will usually not be left alone with any patients but will instead work with a nurse. This will involve a lot of TLC (tender loving care) and bedside manner: talking, calming, and reassuring but NOT giving any therapy. The "behavioral interventions" is a fancy word that means "disciplining, restraining, scolding, feeding, cleaning". If this is a unionized job, it might pay $15 an hour or higher. If non-union, it might pay $7.
