Are you a seasoned Emergency Department Nurse Leader looking for a career-defining opportunity in one of the fastest-growing major metro areas in the Southeast?

We’re seeking a transformational, relationship-driven RN Manager, Emergency Department (ED) to lead a high-volume, high-performing 41 bed Emergency Department at a non-profit Magnet-recognized hospital that has rapidly advanced from underperforming to setting the bar for clinical excellence and patient flow.

• High-performing team: The foundation is in place — your leadership will take it further.
• Flexible leadership model: Work with a strong Assistant Manager team to share weekend coverage — no admin on-call.
• Relocation + Bonus Package: Up to $165K base salary, $10K relocation, and annual performance-based incentive (up to 5% of base salary)
