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.
