Nurse Manager, Surgical Services

A respected, not-for-profit hospital in Southern California is seeking an experienced Nurse Manager to lead its Surgical Services department. This is an excellent opportunity to step into a visible leadership role within a hospital known for teamwork, compassion, and clinical excellence.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This position is based in one of Southern California’s most charming and affordable communities — a place known for tree-lined streets, beautifully restored Victorian homes, and a strong sense of community.

Home to a highly regarded university and regularly recognized as one of the best places to live in California, the area offers affordable housing, clean air, excellent schools, and a relaxed pace of life. You’ll enjoy the benefits of small-town living with easy access to the mountains, beaches, and major city amenities.

 

 

About the Role

Reporting to a Hospital Senior Director the Nurse Manager provides 24-hour leadership and accountability for the department. This role oversees day-to-day operations, ensures compliance with clinical and regulatory standards, and promotes a culture of safety, efficiency, and patient-centered care.

The Nurse Manager serves as both a hands-on clinical leader and operational strategist, guiding a team of skilled nurses and support staff. You’ll collaborate with physicians and hospital leadership to improve outcomes, streamline processes, and enhance the overall surgical experience for patients and families.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and coordinate all aspects of Surgical Services, ensuring consistent, high-quality care.

  • Manage daily staffing, scheduling, and resource allocation.

  • Coach and mentor nursing staff, fostering professional growth and engagement.

  • Partner with physicians, anesthesia, and other departments to enhance communication and efficiency.

  • Maintain compliance with hospital policies, clinical standards, and regulatory requirements.

  • Serve as a clinical resource and role model for excellence in perioperative nursing practice.

  • Support ongoing performance improvement, patient safety, and service quality initiatives.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) required; Master’s degree (MSN) preferred

  • Current California RN license required

  • CPR and ACLS certifications required

  • Operating Room or Nurse Manager certification preferred

  • 3–5 years of recent leadership experience in Surgical Services or Perioperative Care preferred

  • Demonstrated clinical expertise, leadership presence, and communication skills

  • Basic proficiency in Word, Excel, and email systems

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal leader is compassionate, organized, and collaborative — someone who can balance the details of daily operations with the vision for long-term excellence. You lead by example, communicate with confidence, and motivate your team to provide the highest level of surgical care.
