4298 – DIRECTOR OF NURSING – HIGH ACUITY SKILLED NURSING & REHAB CENTER – TAMPA, FLORIDA

Director of Nursing (RN) – Tampa, Florida

MedBest is seeking an experienced Director of Nursing (DON) to provide strong clinical leadership and oversight at a high-acuity skilled nursing and rehab center in Tampa, FL. This battle-tested center is not your standard “age-in-place” facility; it is a dynamic rehab setting that prioritizes customer care with unmatched corporate support—even in a natural disaster, leadership is on the ground protecting residents and staff.

The Role
This is a high-impact leadership opportunity for a seasoned nurse leader with proven DON experience in long-term care or skilled nursing. As Director of Nursing, you’ll be at the heart of clinical decision-making, partnering closely with a supportive Administrator while having direct access to high-caliber Regional and Corporate resources. This isn’t your typical budget-cutting, PPD-cramping operation—it’s a forward-thinking organization that invests in people, resources, and quality care.

You won’t be on an island—the DON here is supported by a robust clinical leadership team including an ADON, Second Unit Manager, Staff Development Director, Infection Preventionist, MDS Coordinator, 3–11 Supervisor, Weekend Supervisor, and a dedicated Scheduler/Central Supply. These roles are not counted in PPD, meaning you’ll always have layers of support beyond staffing minimums.

Why This Role Stands Out
 Educational Partnerships – Premier training site for RN/LPN students, university interns, and AIT participants.
 Competitive Package – Strong base salary, achievable bonus programs, and full benefits.
 Culture of Care – “Patients never go without”—if it’s needed, it’s provided.
 Career Growth – Regional and Corporate leadership support ensures the tools and mentorship to excel and advance.
 Future Innovations – Expanding programs including Cardiac Rehab partnerships, trach/ventilator care in development, and a growing hospital referral pipeline.

What You Bring

• Associate degree in Nursing (ASN) or higher.

• Active, unrestricted RN license in the state of Florida.

• Minimum of one (1) year of nursing leadership experience.

• Skilled in long-term care, skilled nursing, or sub-acute settings (preferred).

• Strong technology proficiency (EMR, Microsoft Office, and web-based applications).

What Sets Them Apart
 Sincere Appreciation – for everyone.
 Hearing Needs – and responding quickly.
 Caring Approach – in everything they do.
 Managing Situations – for positive outcomes.
