Now, we’re seeking a Director of Nursing to lead our Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) and help us maintain the highest standards in care, safety, and operational excellence.

The Opportunity
As the Director of Nursing, you’ll oversee the day-to-day operations of our outpatient surgical center — managing staffing, compliance, training, and patient flow. You’ll work closely with physicians and staff to ensure smooth, safe procedures and a supportive, team-driven culture.

This is a leadership role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced surgical setting, values collaboration, and wants to make a tangible difference in patients’ lives.

What You’ll Do:

Leadership & Culture
  • Direct and support daily clinical operations within the ASC.
  • Supervise and mentor both clinical and non-clinical staff.
  • Promote a positive, respectful, and team-based work environment.
  • Support ongoing efforts to improve employee and physician satisfaction.
Compliance & Quality
  • Ensure full compliance with CMS, Joint Commission, and state regulations.
  • Oversee infection control, radiation safety, and life safety programs.
  • Lead quality initiatives and ensure accurate, timely reporting for QAPI and regulatory bodies.
Operations & Patient Flow
  • Coordinate ASC scheduling, staffing, equipment readiness, and supplies.
  • Monitor physician and patient satisfaction; address concerns proactively.
  • Conduct safety drills, audits, and inspections; maintain safety equipment and documentation.
Staff Training & Development
  • Ensure licensure, competencies, and continuing education for staff.
  • Lead onboarding, job-based training, and annual skill validations.
  • Provide or coordinate ongoing professional development and in-services.
You'll thrive in this role if you:
  • Have leadership experience in an ASC or other outpatient surgical setting.
  • Understand the nuances of compliance, quality, and patient safety standards.
  • Communicate clearly and lead with confidence — even in high-pressure moments.
  • Care deeply about patient outcomes and team development.
  • Are ready to lead a respected ASC and leave your mark on a mission-driven team.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in nursing or equivalent leadership experience.
  • Current ACLS and BLS certifications (required).
  • Infection Preventionist certification (preferred).
  • Strong knowledge of CMS ASC regulations and Joint Commission standards.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and EMR systems.
  • Ability to lift/push up to 25 lbs and support occasional clinical movement or equipment setup.
What We Offer
We invest in your well-being — at work and beyond.
  • Competitive Salary: $95,000–$120,000 annually
  • Monday–Friday Schedule, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM (clinic closes at 1PM on Fridays)
  • Health Insurance, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • Life & AD&D Insurance
  • Short-Term Disability Coverage
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) + Company Paid Holidays
  • 401(k) with Company Match (after 6 months)

Why You’ll Love Working at CSP
  • Join a clinic known for excellence, innovation, and heartfelt care
  • Lead a highly skilled, professional ASC team
  • Enjoy work-life balance with regular weekday hours
  • Be part of a compassionate organization that values its people and patients
Ready to Lead with Purpose?
