Operating Room Nurse Manager

The Nurse Manager coordinates activities for both units of the Main OR and Endoscopy Departments. The manager provides clinical and administrative leadership and expertise. They facilitate an atmosphere of interactive management and the development of collegial relationships among nursing personnel and others. Nurse Managers serve as a link between nursing personnel and other healthcare disciplines and workers throughout the organization and within the healthcare community.

Nurse Managers have major responsibility for the implementation of the vision, mission, philosophy, core values, evidence-based practice, and standards of the organization, and nursing services within their defined areas of responsibility.

Nurse Managers are accountable for the environment in which clinical nursing is practiced. The nurse manager must create a learning environment that is open and respectful, and promotes the sharing of expertise to promote the benefits of health outcomes. The ability of the nurse manager to enhance the practice environment is critical to the recruitment and retention of registered nurses with diverse backgrounds and appropriate education and experience.

Nurse Managers contribute to the strategic planning process, day-to-day operations, standards of care, and attainment of goals of the organization. Nurse Managers collaborate with the nurse executive and others in organizational planning, innovation, and evaluation.
