Train, mentor, and develop facility Directors of Nursing (DONs) in clinical systems, regulatory compliance, and day-to-day nursing operations. Train and coach facility nursing staff — RNs (Registered Nurses), LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurses), and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) — on standards of care and best practices. Oversee nursing operations across multiple facilities, identifying gaps and driving consistency from building to building. Qualifications Active RN (Registered Nurse) license in Ohio. Prior experience as a Director of Nursing (DON) in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) / long-term care (LTC) setting is required. Experience overseeing multiple facilities (regional, corporate, or multi-site nursing leadership). Willingness to travel between facilities in the Dayton and Columbus areas as needed. What We Offer A leadership seat with real influence over clinical quality across a growing family of skilled nursing facilities. Ready to lead beyond one building?
