What is a Director of Nursing?

A director of nursing, also known as a nurse director, is a registered nurse who specializes in assuming the administrative and leadership responsibilities of a healthcare facility’s nursing staff. They guide the rhythm of the nursing department by overseeing all nursing personnel and determining the structure and standard of nursing care. Nursing directors also bridge the gap between the nursing staff, doctors, patients, and administration. DONs take on tremendous responsibility as both a lead nurse and an overall administrator, which can be a highly stressful yet rewarding career choice.

Which certifications are best for Directors of Nursing?

Some healthcare employers may prefer director of nursing job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Certified Nurse Manager and Leader (CNML), Certified Executive in Nursing Practice (CENP), Certified Director of Assisted Living (CDAL), Certified Director of Nursing Administration/Long Term Care (CDONA/LTC) or Director of Nursing Services–Certified (DNS-CT), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

How does having a Certified Director of Assisted Living (CDAL) increase my value as a Director of Nursing job candidate?

Having a Certified Director of Assisted Living (CDAL) validates your knowledge and skills as a director of nursing and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
