ANCC accreditation

ANCC Accreditation

We’re ANCC accredited in nursing continuing professional development. This accreditation demonstrates the commitment to using evidence-based criteria when developing high-quality educational resources to promote the professional growth of nurses. Psych NPs at Lavender have the opportunity to learn from a growing library of professional development content, journal club meetings, group clinical consultations, and live learning events from experts on psychotherapy and condition-specific topics such as ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Our culture of learning helps bring us together as a team to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care and improve mental health outcomes.

What It Means to Be a Psych NP With Lavender

Working at Lavender is about providing high-quality evidence-based care through a combined therapy and medication management approach. You’ll get to work alongside and collaborate with a team of clinicians and support staff. Grow your knowledge and hone your psychiatric skills through personalized guidance, continuing education, and a new graduate peer support program.

We require a 16-hour-per-week minimum commitment from NPs. Aside from that, you have the flexibility to make your own schedules and see clients remotely when it works for you. Lavender strongly supports work-life balance, so to support your own wellness NPs cannot work more than 40 hours per week and more than 10 hours per day.
