About The Position

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Martin North Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This downtown Stuart hospital provides top-quality patient care to the communities in and around Martin County on the beautiful St. Lucie River. The caregivers at Martin North Hospital have made it an excellent medical facility and a home away from home. Martin North Hospital is looking to add an Assistant Nurse Manager to the team who will cover both the 12-bed 2nd floor and 18-bed 3rd floor. This includes the newly established Med/Surg unit on the 2nd floor of the South Tower that cares for a wide range of patients with a variety of medical issues or who are preparing for or recovering from surgery. By taking on this role, you will provide clinical supervision and unit coordination to the units. With an emphasis on professional development and success, you will encourage caregivers to enhance their skills and the patient experience through improvement initiatives and incentives. 30% of your day will consist of administrative tasks such as coordinating staff scheduling, training, and Kronos, while the other 70% will consist of hands-on patient care. This position offers a great way to gain extensive leadership experience while continuing to provide the best support and treatment possible. A caregiver in this position works days from 7:00AM – 7:30PM.
