Job description

Discover a career‑defining Nurse Supervisor opportunity leading perioperative excellence at a cutting‑edge Ophthalmology Ambulatory Surgery Center—an exciting Nurse Supervisor role that empowers vision, advances careers, and delivers sight‑restoring impact.

The Nurse Supervisor will thrive within an award‑winning, Ophthalmology Ambulatory Surgery Center recognized for top‑decile patient satisfaction and safety. This Nursing Supervisor environment leverages advanced ophthalmic technology to drive consistent, evidence‑based results. As a Nurse Manager in a culture of continuous improvement, outcomes are benchmarked to ASCA best practices, data inform decisions, and team achievements are celebrated. Career growth for the RN Supervisor is supported through certification reimbursement, tuition assistance, preceptor pathways, and structured leadership coaching.

The Charge Nurse will lead in a small, high efficiency Eye Surgery Center featuring 3 modern ORs and more than 400 cases each month. This Perioperative Charge Nurse partners with accomplished ophthalmic surgeons performing cataract, oculoplastic, cornea, glaucoma, and vitrectomy procedures that restore sight. As a working leader, the Nurse Supervisor rotates across Pre‑Op, the Operating Room, and PACU to model best practices, maintain patient flow, and solve problems in real time. Streamlined handoffs and standardized pathways keep the RN Supervisor focused on speed, safety, and service in an agile ASC setting.

Reporting to the ASC leadership and collaborating with the Medical Director and OR Manager, the RN Supervisor is backed by a friendly, diverse team of RNs, OR Techs, Medical Assistants, and administrative professionals committed to supportive teamwork. The Charge Nurse directs 10 RNs plus non‑RN staff, manages staffing productivity, publishes schedules at least four weeks in advance, and aligns resources to daily caseload while safeguarding equitable breaks and lunches. The Nurse Manager leads daily quality checks, assigns and follows up on RN quality audits, maintains peer review and survey‑readiness documentation, and ensures patient follow‑up calls and audits occur during natural downtime. This Nursing Supervisor remains a visible, on‑the‑floor leader who coaches performance, enforces policies for legal compliance and high standards, advances QI studies, tracks daily/weekly/monthly audits, and supports budgeting initiatives through vigilant expense monitoring.

Based in San Diego, the Nurse Supervisor ASC enjoys a Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, ocean breezes, and easy access to iconic beaches from La Jolla and Pacific Beach to Coronado and Sunset Cliffs. This Charge Nurse lifestyle blends outdoor adventure—surfing, paddle boarding, sailing, hiking Torrey Pines, and biking the Bayshore with world‑class culture at Balboa Park’s museums, the San Diego Zoo, the Rady Shell, and concerts throughout the Gaslamp Quarter. Weekends are filled with Padres games at Petco Park, farmer’s markets, coastal trail runs, and day trips to wine country or the mountains, all against postcard sunsets. Food‑forward living delights the RN Supervisor with fresh seafood, renowned taco shops, coastal brunch spots, international eateries, craft coffee, and a celebrated craft‑beer scene.
