We are seeking a mission-driven Director of Nursing (DON) to lead clinical operations in a skilled nursing setting where compassionate care meets clinical excellence. This individual will play a pivotal role in advancing the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of every resident, ensuring care is not only compliant—but truly impactful.

As DON, you’ll do more than oversee nursing operations—you’ll be a catalyst for clinical excellence, team development, and resident-centered care. In this leadership role, you’ll champion a culture where interdisciplinary collaboration and high-quality outcomes are the norm, not the exception.

  • Drive Resident-Centered Care : Ensure every resident receives personalized care that aligns with assessments and care plans.
  • Lead Clinical Teams : Oversee, coordinate, and mentor nursing staff to uphold high standards of skilled care and regulatory compliance.
  • Foster Collaboration : Guide interdisciplinary teams in developing, implementing, and evaluating care plans that address the full spectrum of resident needs.
  • Ensure Regulatory Excellence : Monitor compliance with all state and federal guidelines, proactively adjusting practices and training.
  • Physician & Family Coordination : Serve as a key liaison among physicians, families, and residents—ensuring transparent communication and care alignment.
  • Support Critical Care Delivery : Step in when necessary to deliver direct care or procedures, especially in complex or urgent situations.
  • Champion Quality Improvement : Lead and participate in QA meetings, review performance metrics, and guide continuous improvement efforts.
  • Oversee Clinical Documentation : Regularly audit records, consultant reports, and quality data to ensure accuracy and effectiveness.
  • Drive Staff Development : Coach, counsel, recruit, and develop nursing personnel to grow professionally and deliver exceptional care.
  • Handle Challenges with Integrity : Address resident, family, or staff concerns with professionalism, empathy, and fairness.

Qualifications

Education & Licensure :

  • Registered Nurse (RN) license in good standing (required)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Nursing or Healthcare Administration (preferred)
  • RUG certification (preferred)
  • Experience :

  • Proven experience as a Director of Nursing in a skilled nursing facility
  • Strong understanding of care planning, compliance, and staff leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to manage clinical operations and lead high-performing teams
