Why work as a Director of Nursing?

• Guide & Support Your Team. Your leadership makes the difference! As the Director of Nursing, you would guide and support Nurse Managers and clinical team members within the following units: Family Centered Maternity Unit, NICU, Critical Care, and Telemetry. Reporting to the VP of Patient Care Services, together you would implement the strategic plan providing direction for the nursing departments & shared decision-making initiatives at the hospital and system levels to support a superior patient experience.
