Senior Nurse Care Consultant

Senior Nurse Consultant (RN)
PruittHealth is seeking an experienced Senior Nurse Consultant (RN) to support our skilled nursing and long-term care centers throughout South Georgia and North Florida. This highly visible role is ideal for a clinical leader who is passionate about rapid response intervention, facility turnaround efforts, regulatory recovery, survey readiness, quality improvement, and leadership coaching.

The successful candidate will quickly assess clinical and operational performance, identify root causes, implement corrective actions, and partner with facility leadership teams to drive sustainable improvement.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments and have a passion for helping challenged facilities achieve regulatory success and operational stability, we encourage you to apply.
