Chief Nursing Officer - New Facility Launch

Building Something Meaningful from the Ground Up

Exceptional Healthcare is launching a brand-new 20-bed community hospital in Farmington, New Mexico, scheduled to open in December 2025 . We're seeking an experienced Chief Nursing Officer to lead our clinical operations and establish our nursing culture from day one.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a Director of Nursing or Assistant Director ready to take the next step in their leadership career while making a lasting impact on community healthcare.

What You'll Do as Our Chief Nursing Officer

Lead Clinical Excellence: Direct nursing operations for our 10-bed emergency department and 10-bed inpatient unit, establishing standards of care that will define our hospital's reputation.

Build Your Leadership Team: Recruit, hire, and develop nursing staff while creating policies, procedures, and workflows that support both quality patient care and professional growth.

Drive Operations: Manage the nursing budget, ensure regulatory compliance, and implement quality improvement initiatives tailored to our community hospital environment.

Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with hospital administration, medical staff, and department heads to shape the overall direction of patient care services.

Establish Excellence: Create the nursing culture and operational foundation that will serve as the model for future growth and expansion.

Required Qualifications

Education & Licensure:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Nursing (BSN) required
  • Current RN license in good standing
  • Master’s degree in Nursing, Healthcare Administration, or relevant concentration – a plus

Leadership Experience:

  • Minimum 3-5 years as a DON, ADON, or significant clinical leadership role
  • Proven experience managing nursing staff, budgets, and operations
  • Experience with regulatory compliance and quality improvement initiatives
  • Hospital or acute care nursing background strongly preferred

Core Competencies:

  • Demonstrated success in team building and staff development
  • Strong understanding of nursing standards, regulations, and best practices
  • Experience with facility operations, staffing, and resource management
  • Excellent communication skills and collaborative leadership style

Why This Role Fits Your Career Goals

Leadership Advancement: Step into a CNO role with the autonomy to shape nursing practice and build lasting systems in a community-focused environment.

Manageable Scale: Lead a 20-bed facility where personal relationships and direct impact define your daily work, rather than managing complex corporate hierarchies.

Professional Growth: Gain valuable experience launching a new facility while establishing the clinical foundation for delivering sustainable, high-quality care.

Community Focus: Make a meaningful difference in Farmington, where quality healthcare access truly matters and patients and families will value your leadership.

Collaborative Environment: Work alongside dedicated healthcare professionals committed to delivering exceptional care in a supportive, team-oriented setting.

Ready to Lead at the Next Level?

If you're an experienced nursing leader ready to advance your career while maintaining focus on quality patient care and team development, we want to hear from you.
