Job description
A skilled nursing facility in southern GA is seeking the nurse leader who will run its nursing department.
You would own the day to day of nursing operations: staffing, clinical quality, survey readiness, admissions and discharges, and the growth of the nursing team itself. Building operations sit with the administrator. Nursing sits with you, along with the authority and the budget that go with it.
If you have carried a facility through a state survey, written a plan of correction that held up, and built a nursing team that stayed, this is the kind of seat where that experience matters every week.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Direct daily nursing operations and coordinate care for the adult and geriatric resident population
Lead, coach, and develop the nursing staff, with real investment in onboarding, competency, and retention
Own staff development programming and make sure it actually reaches the floor
Keep the facility survey ready and in step with state and federal requirements at all times
Participate directly in the annual state survey and author plans of correction when findings come back
Manage state reportable events and the reporting process end to end
Build the nursing schedule to meet regulatory staffing requirements and resident acuity
Oversee MDS accuracy and drive the QAPI program
Manage all facility admissions and discharges
Build and manage the nursing department budget, and plan staffing needs ahead of the curve
Safeguard resident rights, including privacy, confidentiality, and dignity
Maintain a safe environment for residents, staff, families, and visitors
Partner closely with the medical director, department leaders, residents, and family members
Oversee medication cart practice, equipment, and clinical documentation standards
Step into charge nurse coverage when the building needs it
Take call on a rotating basis with the leadership team
WHAT YOU NEED
Active Georgia RN license, or eligibility to obtain one before your start date
BSN required
Master's degree in nursing or business administration, held or in progress
Five years of professional nursing experience, including at least three years in a nursing administration or leadership role
Long-term care experience is required, not preferred
Working command of LTC regulation: state reportables, the survey process, staffing requirements, and writing plans of correction
MDS and QAPI experience
Willingness to take call on a rotating basis
Demonstrated ability to build and manage a departmental budget
Current knowledge of nursing practice, clinical methods, and the tools used to deliver care in a skilled setting
Strong verbal and written communication, and the interpersonal range to work with clinicians, families, surveyors, and staff on the same day
Sound clinical judgment and a practical approach to problem solving
Organization and prioritization skills that hold up when the day gets loud
Ability to lead, teach, and hold a team to a standard
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Extended periods of walking, standing, and sitting throughout the facility, with occasional hands on assistance to residents. Visual acuity sufficient to read printed and electronic documentation, hearing sufficient to follow conversation without lip reading, and clear speech, in each case with corrective lenses or assistive devices as needed. Sound physical and mental health, and the composure to lead under pressure.
WHY THIS ROLE
The nursing department here is yours to lead, not to administer from a distance. You get budget authority, a direct line to the administrator and the medical director, and a leadership team that knows what strong LTC nursing leadership looks like.
