The client is seeking an Interim Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) to oversee high-level facility operations within a South-Central healthcare setting. The interim CNO will manage multiple units and specialty services, with a focus on current priorities such as regulatory compliance, survey readiness, and staffing initiatives. This leader will ensure departments are appropriately staffed to meet required care ratios and will partner with senior leadership to support ancillary services in meeting patient care standards.
The ideal candidate is a strong, visible, and compassionate nursing leader with a solid operational background and the ability to drive accountability through action plans and measurable results. The role will require technical competence, effective change management, and strong relationship-building with both clinical staff and leadership. The client expects the Interim CNO to begin within 2–3 weeks of acceptance, and location details will be shared with qualified applicants.
Required qualifications include a bachelor’s degree and an active RN license. Interim leadership roles may involve varying travel requirements, with travel and related expenses covered by the client and the staffing partner. Compensation is expected to fall within a specified annual range, with final pay determined based on factors such as experience, education, training, location, internal equity, and budget; some candidates may be eligible for a comprehensive benefits package depending on the role and duration.
