  • Leadership experience through formal or informal roles such as lead nurse, charge nurse, project leader, committee participation, clinical champion, preceptor, or other leadership responsibilities.
  • Strong clinical knowledge and sound nursing judgment.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and engage stakeholders across multiple levels of the organization.
  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills.
  • Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and critical-thinking abilities.
  • Experience supporting quality improvement, patient safety, compliance, or performance improvement initiatives.
  • Proficiency with Epic electronic medical records.
  • Strong technical skills in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities while collaborating effectively across diverse teams and specialties.
