Director Nursing

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. 

CHI St Vincent Infirmary is a 600 bed faith-based, non-profit, acute care facility providing quality health care to patients and communities from all over the State of Arkansas. Our level II trauma center is a regional referral center for cardiology, trauma, behavioral health, cancer care, neurosciences, and other specialties. We have been consistently named by US News & World Report as one of the State’s best hospitals, with high performance in heart care, colorectal surgery, and joint replacement. 

If you are committed to social justice, health equity, and prepared to deliver care in new, innovative ways, you belong with us. 

• You’ll lead and manage a team of Patient Care Services professionals, who represent a variety of nursing specialties, to be able to collaborate and provide innovative patient care solutions. 
• You’ll collaborate with and leverage the expertise of your staff and your peers across the facility, building solutions that work across multiple departments and disciplines. 
• As a bridge between executive and department leadership, you’ll be advocating for any necessary changes and resources needed. 
• Be a change agent. Change is inevitable when the Patient Care Services team takes on a project. Our projects touch many people, so we cannot make a change and hope everyone accepts it. We need an effective change agent who can help build buy-in and roll out changes strategically and effectively.
