- Own the Clinical Nurse Trainer program end to end, including scope, selection and promotion criteria, training, and metrics.
- Create the operating structure for the trainer program: training shift scheduling, shift agendas, and accountability reporting.
- Deploy trainers where they have the most impact: new hire onboarding, practice openings, integrations, and practices below standard.
- Update and own a single Small Door nursing ladder with titles and levels from assistant to nursing leadership, state-by-state scope of practice for assistants, and a skills-verified promotion process.
- Own the level definitions and clinical skills screen used in recruiting.
- Build relationships with schools and externship programs.
