We are seeking an OB Director (RN) to lead the Labor and Delivery team at a hospital with more than a century of service to the same community. This is a full-time, 1.0 FTE position (80 hours per pay period), Monday through Friday day shifts, salary/exempt, with a $5,000 sign-on bonus and up to $5,000 in relocation assistance available for qualified candidates. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
This is a 36-bed acute care facility with a Level I Maternal Care and Nursery designation, reflecting the priority the organization places on obstetric services rather than treating OB as a secondary offering within a broader med-surg operation. The hospital has maintained the trust of its community for generations, supported by low staff turnover, strong physician engagement, and consistent leadership investment in its teams. The incoming OB Director will inherit a program with an established foundation, allowing focus on advancing quality and outcomes rather than building infrastructure from the ground up.
In this role, you will oversee the full scope of the OB unit, including coordinating patient care through the nursing process, leading performance improvement initiatives, and ensuring departmental compliance with accreditation, legal, and Joint Commission standards. Responsibilities include staff scheduling, professional development, and performance evaluations, serving as the primary clinical resource for staff and external partners, and directing patient education efforts within Labor and Delivery. The role carries substantial autonomy in shaping clinical standards and the patient experience for mothers and infants.
The hospital is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, an area known for four distinct seasons, proximity to Lake Superior, and a lower-traffic, community-oriented pace of life. Many professionals who relocate to the region choose to remain long-term, drawn by a quality of life that complements the professional opportunity.
This is a confidential search, and additional details, including the health system name and exact location, will be shared directly with qualified candidates. Interested applicants are encouraged to reach out to learn more.
