Nursing Manager Jobs in Lafayette, LA

A Nursing Manager is a critical healthcare professional who oversees the operations of a specific department or unit within a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or nursing home. They handle staffing, budgeting, patient care standards, performance evaluations, and policy development and implementation. A Nursing Manager ensures the quality of patient care, promotes staff development, and adheres to regulatory and compliance rules. They must be proficient in communication, leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking. They should also demonstrate expertise in clinical skills relevant to their unit.

Prior to becoming a Nursing Manager, an individual might serve in roles such as a Registered Nurse, Charge Nurse, or Clinical Nurse Specialist. These roles provide the necessary clinical experience and leadership skills required for the complex responsibilities a Nursing Manager undertakes.
