    Job Description

    Director of Nursing (DON) | RN, BSN - Las Vegas, NV

    Location: Las Vegas, NV | $110k–$140k+ DOE | Skilled Nursing / Clinical Facility

    The Opportunity:

    Lead the nursing department at a respected Las Vegas facility. This is a hands-on leadership role for an RN who wants to shape patient care standards, build a strong team, and drive quality outcomes.

    Why This Role Stands Out:

    • Real authority — you own staffing, policies, and clinical quality
    • Supportive admin — not a "sink or swim" culture
    • Growth path — potential to move into Regional DON or Operations
    • Las Vegas — no state income tax, affordable housing, world-class amenities

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Provide leadership, direction, and supervision to all nursing staff
    • Oversee daily clinical operations and ensure quality care standards
    • Develop, implement, and evaluate nursing policies and procedures
    • Ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local healthcare regulations
    • Collaborate with physicians, administrators, and interdisciplinary teams
    • Manage staffing schedules, hiring, onboarding, and performance evaluations
    • Monitor patient outcomes and lead quality improvement initiatives
    • Oversee infection control, safety protocols, and risk management
    • Maintain accurate documentation and HIPAA compliance

    Qualifications:

    • Active RN license in Nevada (required)
    • BSN required (MSN preferred)
    • 1–2+ years of nursing leadership experience (DON, ADON, Nurse Manager)
    • Strong knowledge of healthcare regulations and accreditation standards
    • Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills
    • Experience in skilled nursing, long-term care, or similar setting a plus
