Nursing Manager Jobs in California

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.

To become a Nursing Manager, one typically needs a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), along with relevant certifications like the Certified Nurse Manager and Leader (CNML) or the Nurse Executive-Board Certified (NE-BC) credential. 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.
