Nursing Director Resume
A person working as a director of nursing will manage the entire operations of a nursing department within a hospital and a long-term care facility. The major responsibility he or she handles is the quality of patient care. As nurses are the ones who stay closer to the patients longer than the doctors, the directors have to train them, review their work, and take appropriate action for complaints received against them. This position is highly-responsible and is offered to those holding bachelor's degree in nursing and working experience as a registered nurse.
