Avir Trilogy is seeking a Director of Nursing to join our team!

We're looking for a Director of Nursing who leads from the floor, not from behind a desk. You'll plan, organize, and direct the day-to-day work of our Nursing Services Department, keeping us survey-ready and in step with federal, state, and local regulations. Just as important, you'll build a nursing team that takes real ownership of resident outcomes, because the tone you set is the care our residents feel every day.

• Direct nursing operations to meet federal, state, and regulatory care standards, and keep the facility survey-ready year round.

• Lead the nursing management team and build ownership of quality goals across the department.

• Run continuous quality assessment and improvement of nursing care delivery, and keep the Administrator current on department activity and issues.

• Help develop and implement plans of action that support each resident's comprehensive assessment and care plan.

• Make daily rounds to confirm care standards are being met and to monitor safety, reporting unsafe conditions and all incidents immediately.

• Audit charts for accuracy and completeness, identify problem areas, and implement corrective action.

• Maintain appropriate staffing levels through work assignments, schedule adjustments, and shift approvals.

• Serve on facility committees including Infection Control, Quality Assurance, and Utilization Review.

• Participate in the Infection Control program, monitoring hand hygiene, isolation technique, dressing changes, linen handling, and medication pass at least monthly.

• Review resident complaints and grievances and document the actions taken to resolve them.

• Monitor weekly skin assessments and bath sheets, and complete the weekly wound report.

• Participate in the nursing on-call rotation.

• Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and remain calm under pressure.
