THE HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE

Where Talent Meets Opportunity

Director of Emergency Services (RN)

New Mexico | Permanent

What if your next ED leadership role gave you the opportunity to actually build something?

We are recruiting a Director of Emergency Services for a community hospital in Southeastern New Mexico that is preparing to expand its Emergency Department.

The ED currently sees approximately 15,000 visits annually, and the planned expansion will create additional treatment capacity, and give the incoming Director an opportunity to influence staffing, patient flow, team development and how the department operates as it grows.

This is a smaller community hospital with real momentum behind it.

In 2026, the hospital received a Momentum Award for measurable improvement across clinical operations, employee engagement and patient experience. It has also earned national recognition for rural hospital outcomes, Emergency Care and Emergency Timeliness, along with seven consecutive Leapfrog “A” Hospital Safety Grades through Spring 2024.

The organization continues to invest in its facilities, technology and services. For the next ED Director, that means joining a hospital that's moving forward, and having a meaningful role in where Emergency Services goes next.

Why this opportunity stands out

  • Approximately 15,000 ED visits annually
  • Planned expansion from 3 treatment rooms + 5 overflow spaces to 9 treatment rooms
  • 2024 Women's Choice Awards for Emergency Care and Emergency Timeliness
  • 2024 Chartis Performance Leadership Award for excellence in Outcomes, recognizing top-quartile rural hospital performance
  • Seven consecutive Leapfrog “A” Hospital Safety Grades through Spring 2024
  • 2026 Momentum Award for improvement in clinical operations, employee engagement and patient experience
  • Opportunity to directly influence staffing, patient flow, team development and ED operations
  • Direct access to executive leadership with fewer layers between decisions and results

For a leader coming from a larger system, that's an important difference. You won't be several layers removed from the people or the decisions. You'll know your team, work directly with hospital leadership and be able to see the impact of what you change.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for an RN leader with Emergency Services experience who enjoys being close to the operation and wants the opportunity to lead, build and develop a team.

Requirements include:

  • BSN required; candidates currently enrolled in an accredited BSN program with a scheduled completion date may be considered
  • 3+ years of progressive healthcare leadership experience
  • Master's degree preferred
  • Certification in a clinical specialty or nursing administration preferred

Why New Mexico?

For someone ready for a change from a larger metro, New Mexico offers more space, less traffic and a significantly lower cost of living than many larger Southwest markets.

The community has its own commercial airport, which makes staying connected to family easier than many people expect from a smaller market. Outside of work, New Mexico offers year-round access to hiking, camping, mountains, desert landscapes, state and national parks and some of the most distinctive scenery in the Southwest.

For the right ED leader, this is a chance to make both a professional and lifestyle change—more influence at work and a different pace outside of it.
