As one of Oregon's most recognized healthcare organizations, Providence St. Vincent Medical Center is known for exceptional patient care, clinical innovation, and nursing excellence. The hospital has achieved Magnet designation six consecutive times from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), making it one of only a select group of hospitals worldwide to earn this distinction. Magnet recognition is considered the highest national honor for professional nursing practice and reflects a culture committed to quality outcomes, shared governance, professional development, and exceptional patient care.

In this role, you will provide operational, clinical, and strategic leadership for a high-performing orthopedic service line, overseeing approximately 75-80 caregivers and partnering closely with an Assistant Nurse Manager and interdisciplinary leaders to drive excellence in patient outcomes, caregiver engagement, and operational performance. The Orthopedics Unit is a 28-bed acute care medical/surgical telemetry unit that provides care for adult patients with acute and chronic medical conditions. Our patient population includes patients recovering from complex total joint replacement surgeries, patients admitted with fractures and orthopedic trauma, and medical and surgical overflow patients.

This dynamic environment offers the opportunity to lead a highly skilled team committed to delivering safe, compassionate, and evidence-based care. Providence continues to be recognized locally and nationally for outstanding orthopedic care and quality outcomes, including various certifications and recognitions. The Nurse Manager of Clinical Operations embraces a spirit of continual improvement and possesses a relentless drive towards excellence.

They are accountable for the 24/7 operations of their defined unit(s) and establish an environment where healing and wellness are optimized.

Portland costs about 5% above the national average, but the trade-off is tangible: post-shift food cart pods on Alberta, Saturday mornings at Powell's City of Books, and an aerial tram that glides you to OHSU above the Willamette. This is where nurses trade strip malls for rain-forest trails.
