RN Clinical Educator / Staff Development Coordinator

Columbiana Health & Rehabilitation

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | Day Shift

Nursing Education & Leadership Opportunity

Competitive Compensation – Based on Experience

Love Nursing—but Ready to Use Your Experience Differently?

You don't have to leave nursing to step away from traditional bedside shifts.

If you're the RN coworkers naturally come to with questions—or the nurse who enjoys precepting, teaching new employees, demonstrating skills, and helping others gain confidence—clinical education may be your next move.

At Columbiana Health & Rehabilitation, we’re looking for an RN Clinical Educator / Staff Development Coordinator to help train, mentor, and develop our nursing team.

You’ll be joining a facility with stable staffing, many long‑tenured employees, a positive hometown culture, and leadership that genuinely cares about its people.

This isn't about walking into a struggling team and starting from scratch.

It’s an opportunity to take a good team and help make it even better.

Why Consider Columbiana?
