Nurse Manager – Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC)

About the Role

Networks Connect is seeking an experienced Nurse Manager, on behalf of our client, to lead clinical operations at a high-quality Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). This role oversees all clinical functions and provides hands-on leadership to a highly tenured nursing and surgical team in a patient-first, outpatient environment.

This ASC focuses on same-day surgical procedures only. There are no overnight patients and no high-acuity cases such as heart, brain, or spine surgeries. Common specialties include orthopedics, general surgery, and other outpatient procedures.

This is a plug-and-play leadership role for a Nurse Manager who is confident, organized, and ready to step into an established team with minimal ramp-up.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and oversee all clinical operations of the Ambulatory Surgery Center
• Supervise and support a multidisciplinary clinical team (RNs, surgical techs, sterile processing staff)
• Ensure safe, efficient patient care from admission through same-day discharge
• Maintain compliance with accreditation, regulatory, and infection control standards
• Manage staffing, scheduling, and clinical workflows
• Serve as the clinical leader during emergencies until physician arrival
• Collaborate closely with physicians, anesthesia, vendors, and leadership
• Support cost containment, inventory management, and preference cards
• Foster a professional, respectful, and team-oriented culture

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Active RN license (ASN or BSN from an accredited program)
• 3–5 years of operating room (OR) or surgical experience
• 2+ years of nursing leadership or management experience
• Current BLS certification
• ACLS certification (or ability to obtain quickly)
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Preferred:

• Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) experience
• Experience leading a tenured or diverse clinical team
• Strong understanding of outpatient surgical workflows

Schedule & Work Environment

• Monday–Friday, daytime hours
• Typically 8:00 AM–4:00 PM (with flexibility as needed)
• No nights, weekends, holidays, or on-call
• Outpatient setting with predictable schedules and stable workflows

Why This Role

• Patient-first culture in a smaller, more personal surgical environment
• No inpatient or overnight care
• Strong leadership visibility and autonomy
• Stable, experienced team with long tenure
• Opportunity to step into a key leadership role quickly
