Overview

As our Director of Nursing at CHI St Vincent, you’ll ensure our patient care experience is the best it can be! You will lead our patient care team and make changes based on analyzed data, feedback, and your healthcare experience. The projects you’ll oversee and support are long-term projects that require patience and endurance to get them across the finish line.

The goal in this role is to provide client-centered outcomes. You will use a variety of avenues to gather data and feedback to meet this goal, including regular patient rounding to obtain feedback directly from patients. As a champion for patient experience improvements, you'll need to build and maintain relationships with other clinical areas in the hospital to ensure the continuum of care for each of our patients.

You'll build trust in our leaders and staff by communicating effectively. Your success in this role comes from your enthusiasm to improve services, your well-rounded nursing background, and your excellent communication skills.
