Rosedale, MD
Contracted
Franklin Woods Ctr
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal leadership role as a Registered Nurse Unit Manager in Maryland’s vibrant community of Rosedale, where clinical excellence meets compassionate care and team empowerment. This is more than a job—it's an opportunity to guide a dedicated nursing team, shape patient outcomes, and foster a culture where every clinician thrives. As you lead with integrity and insight, you’ll influence daily care, mentor rising talent, and collaborate across departments to deliver high-quality, patient-centered outcomes. Imagine creating standardized, evidence-based practices that elevate performance, safety, and satisfaction while you steward resources with confidence. This role invites you to leverage your expertise to influence care at the unit level, champion innovative solutions, and showcase your leadership in a dynamic environment. In Maryland, you’ll discover a blend of urban energy and coastal charm that makes every day meaningful. Separately, you’ll find Maryland’s diverse landscapes—from the historic streets of Baltimore to the refreshing serenity of the Chesapeake Bay—offering opportunities to unwind in green spaces, waterfront towns, and scenic byways after meaningful days in the hospital.
Location benefits extend beyond a single hospital floor. Rosedale, MD places you within a short drive of Baltimore’s cultural attractions, renowned dining, and robust healthcare networks, while also offering easy access to Annapolis, the Broadneck Peninsula, and regional medical corridors. The chance to work in this area comes with a broader prospect: the opportunity to work across various locations throughout the United States as market needs evolve. This flexibility opens doors to new clinical environments, diverse patient populations, and a wealth of experiences—from teaching hospitals with complex cases to community-based settings where you can make a direct impact on every patient encounter. You’ll enjoy a supportive environment that values your leadership, while you gain exposure to best practices, evidence-based protocols, and collaborative care models that strengthen your professional portfolio.
Role specifics and benefits: As Unit Manager, you’ll oversee daily nursing operations on your designated unit, ensuring patient safety, regulatory compliance, and clinical excellence. You’ll supervise and mentor nursing staff, coordinate staffing, and manage shift coverage to guarantee that 40 hours per week are consistently delivered, aligning with patient needs and budgetary goals. Responsibilities include enforcing patient-centered care plans, leading quality improvement initiatives, evaluating performance metrics, and partnering with physicians, case managers, and ancillary teams to optimize throughput and outcomes. You’ll develop and implement unit workflows, orient and train new hires, and model professional behavior that embodies compassion, accountability, and teamwork. This role offers strong pathways for professional growth within the specialty, with opportunities to lead unit-based projects, participate in clinical governance, and expand into senior leadership roles as you demonstrate impact and initiative. The package features competitive compensation, with weekly pay ranging from $685 to $725, and guaranteed 40 hours per week for the contract duration. In addition, you’ll have access to a generous bonus structure tied to performance and patient outcomes, and housing assistance to support smooth transitions into new assignments. We also provide contract extension opportunities, enabling you to continue delivering excellent care while expanding your leadership footprint. You’ll have robust, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team, ensuring a seamless experience as you move between assignments or stay on a long-term rotation.
We are committed to empowering our nurses. Our values emphasize career advancement, continuous learning, and a supportive, inclusive work environment where your ideas are heard and your professional goals are nurtured. You’ll find mentorship, ongoing education, and leadership development resources designed to accelerate your growth—from charge nurse responsibilities to unit director potential—within a culture that rewards initiative, collaboration, and compassionate care.
Call to action: If you are a motivated RN with proven leadership in a fast-paced unit, ready to guide a compassionate team and drive measurable improvements, we invite you to apply. Join a company that honors your contributions, supports your ambitions, and values the essential work you do every day. Start date February 2, 2026, with an assignment designed for weeks of impactful leadership, each week powered by guaranteed hours and meaningful compensation. Begin the next chapter of your nursing leadership journey in Maryland—or explore healthcare opportunities across the U.S.—and help shape the future of patient care.
Please note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
