Advance Your RN Career with a Unique Leadership Role at Penn State Health

Are you an experienced Registered Nurse (RN) looking to stretch your leadership skills in a high-impact, low-burnout role? If you're ready to take the next step—stepping into hospital-wide leadership, problem-solving on the fly, and influencing care across both adult and children's hospitals—this may be the perfect fit for you.

At Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, we are actively seeking a Registered Nurse House Manager to oversee hospital operations and nursing services during evening, night, weekend, and holiday shifts.

This position is perfect for RNs in charge nurse or nurse manager roles who want to lead without managing direct reports and who enjoy the dynamic pace of after-hours operations. You’ll gain visibility across a quaternary care, Level I Trauma Center while collaborating closely with senior leaders—and here’s the best part : no late-night check-ins or follow-up emails when your shift ends. When you're off, you're truly off.

Why This Role Stands Out

Broaden your scope by supporting both adult and pediatric hospital operations

Develop system-wide leadership skills—without the administrative load of managing direct reports

Be the go-to leader for complex issues that arise during off-hours

Make decisions with autonomy in an environment that trusts your clinical judgment

Work for a team that values your time off—no on-call responsibilities or post-shift follow-ups

Key Responsibilities

Manage hospital-wide nursing operations during nights, weekends, and holidays

Serve as the administrative resource and escalation point for inpatient units and hospital departments

Collaborate with clinical teams and hospital leaders to ensure safe, high-quality care delivery

Think critically and act decisively to navigate unexpected operational challenges

Minimum Qualifications

Education : BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) or MSN (Master of Science in Nursing)

Experience : Minimum 5 years of clinical RN experience with progressive leadership responsibilities

Licensure : Active RN license in Pennsylvania or multi-state license via Nurse Licensure Compact

A Leadership Role That Fits Your Life

This is more than a job—it’s a strategic stepping stone into executive-level nursing leadership, offering exposure, autonomy, and challenge without the burnout. If you're a hospital-based registered nurse, charge nurse, or current house supervisor who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to lead with impact—then leave work at work—we’d love to meet you.
