Job Description

Now Hiring: Nurse Director – Operating Room (OR)

Western Kentucky / Three Rivers Region | 🏥 Acute Care Hospital | 120+ Beds

Reports to CNO

This is a unique opportunity for a driven nurse leader to take ownership of a respected OR department within a high-performing regional medical center that’s deeply rooted in its community and poised for continued growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High Visibility & Impact – You’ll lead a tight-knit OR team in a hospital known for quality care, low staff turnover, and clinical excellence. This is a role with both autonomy and influence—your voice will be heard.
  • Supportive Leadership – Reporting directly to the CNO, you’ll be backed by a collaborative and responsive executive team who values innovation, communication, and staff development.
  • Well-Established Surgical Service Line – The OR is part of a strong continuum that includes general surgery, orthopedics, ENT, urology, wound care, and more. The unit is efficient, well-run, and deeply trusted by both physicians and the surrounding community.
  • Great Place to Live & Work – Located near the beautiful Kentucky Lake and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, this region offers an affordable lifestyle, outdoor adventure, and a close-knit community—without sacrificing quality of care or professional growth.

What We’re Looking For

  • A licensed Registered Nurse (RN) with at least 3+ years of progressive leadership in surgical services
  • Someone who leads by example, builds trust, and brings a team-first mindset to the OR
  • Comfortable overseeing clinical operations, staffing, and strategic growth—but above all, passionate about patient care

Offer Includes

  • Salary Range: $83,500 – $112,000
  • Relocation Assistance: Up to $7,500
  • Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO
  • Shift differentials + professional development support
