Nurse Manager - Med/Surg and Inpatient Rehab

The nurse manager co-creates a culture of excellence, innovation, and transformation with professional nurses, other leaders, and Associates.

The nurse manager fosters healthy work environments, advances professional autonomy, clinical competences, and safe, ethical, and high-quality nursing care; and assures that nurses are allowed to practice within their full scope.

The main goal is to assure the alignment of nursing's goals, activities, and practices with the values and mission of the organization, governing boards, and constituencies.

In addition to accountability for the direction of nursing practice, nurse administrators are responsible for the oversight and direction of all aspects of the clinical or educational enterprise.
