Assistant Chief Nursing Officer ACNO

Bileddo Associates

Assistant Chief Nursing Officer ACNO

Our client is a 25 bed Critical Access not for profit hospital centrally located in California. Minutes to wine country and over 300 wineries!

A well-respected community healthcare system on California's Central Coast is seeking an accomplished nursing leader to serve as Assistant Chief Nursing Officer. Reporting directly to the CNO, you will co-lead nursing operations, drive quality and safety initiatives, and shape the strategic direction of patient care services.

This organization offers what many nurse executives are looking for: real decision-making authority, a collaborative and transparent culture, minimal bureaucracy, and a location where work-life balance is the norm-not a slogan. Signing bonus and relocation assistance are available.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Partner with the CNO to set strategic direction for nursing services; serve as acting CNO in their absence
  • Oversee daily nursing operations, staffing, budgets, and resource allocation across patient care areas
  • Lead quality improvement, patient safety, and regulatory compliance programs (CMS, Joint Commission/HFAP, Title 22, CA BRN)
  • Mentor and develop nursing managers, directors, and emerging leaders; drive recruitment and retention strategies
  • Represent nursing at the executive and board level; collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary teams
  • Champion evidence-based practice, clinical innovation, and a culture of shared governance
QUALIFICATIONS

Required
  • Active California RN license (or eligibility for endorsement)
  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
  • 5+ years of progressive nursing leadership, including 3+ years at a management or director level in acute care
  • Demonstrated expertise in quality improvement, patient safety, and regulatory compliance
  • Strong budget management and operational planning experience
Preferred
  • MSN, DNP, or related advanced degree
  • Nurse Executive certification (NE-BC or NEA-BC)
  • Community or critical access hospital experience
  • Bilingual English/Spanish

WHAT SETS THIS OPPORTUNITY APART

Generous PTO, comprehensive benefits, and CE support

300 sunny days/year on the Central Coast - beaches, wine country, national parks within 30-80 miles
