DON

Lead a Nursing Team Where Your Leadership Matters

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Director of Nursing (DON) to lead the clinical team at our skilled nursing community in the Oklahoma City area.

This is an opportunity for a strong nurse leader who knows how to build a team, establish clinical standards, improve outcomes, and create a culture where residents receive excellent care and employees are supported in doing their best work.

Our DON will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with facility and regional leadership while having a meaningful voice in clinical operations and resident care.

What You'll Do

As Director of Nursing, you will provide leadership and oversight of the facility's nursing department, including:

• Lead, mentor, and support the nursing team
• Promote high standards of resident care and clinical practice
• Oversee nursing operations, staffing, and clinical systems
• Maintain compliance with federal, state, and facility requirements
• Drive survey readiness and assist with plans of correction when necessary
• Monitor quality measures, clinical outcomes, incidents, wounds, infections, falls, rehospitalizations, and other high-risk areas
• Participate in QAPI and performance-improvement initiatives
• Ensure appropriate physician notification, documentation, care planning, and follow-through
• Partner closely with the Administrator, MDS, therapy, pharmacy, providers, and interdisciplinary team
• Identify clinical risks early and implement effective corrective action
• Develop nursing leaders and strengthen accountability throughout the department

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is a clinically strong leader who can balance resident care, regulatory compliance, team development, and day-to-day nursing operations.

Qualifications

• Current, active RN license in Oklahoma or compact state license
• Previous nursing leadership experience in skilled nursing or long-term care strongly preferred
• DON, ADON, Unit Manager, Regional Clinical, or comparable leadership experience preferred
• Working knowledge of CMS requirements, survey processes, QAPI, care planning, and clinical documentation
• Strong communication, organization, and leadership skills
• Ability to coach staff, manage priorities, and respond effectively to clinical and operational challenges

Why Join Us?

We understand that a successful Director of Nursing needs more than responsibility - they need support, resources, collaboration, and a leadership team willing to work alongside them.

We are looking for a DON who wants to make an impact, strengthen a nursing department, develop their team, and be part of an organization focused on quality and continuous improvement.
