DIRECTOR OF NURSING

Nursing | Full-Time, On-Site | FLSA Exempt — Salaried | Non-Union

Reports to the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator

$138,000 – $155,000 annually | 6200 Oregon Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20015

Clinical leadership across the full care continuum — skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care,

. Skilled nursing is the seat of licensure accountability.

You will direct all nursing personnel, set evidence-based clinical standards, lead QAPI and

infection prevention, and carry nursing survey readiness and Plan of Correction execution. You will

own a nursing staffing model that meets District coverage and hours standards every day and can

be proven from payroll source records — 24-hour registered nurse coverage under 22-B DCMR §

3211.2(a), a Nursing Services Supervisor on duty at all times under § 3209.1. You will own nursing

voluntary turnover as a personal leadership metric.

WHAT WE REQUIRE

• Current, unrestricted registered nurse license in the District of Columbia. The District is

not a Nurse Licensure Compact jurisdiction; a multistate license issued elsewhere does not

authorize practice here.

• BSN required; MSN preferred.

• Five years of progressive nursing leadership, with at least three in long-term care or a life plan

community.

• Demonstrated depth in quality improvement and infection prevention, and command of the

federal Requirements of Participation (42 CFR Part 483, Subpart B) and District nursing facility

standards (22-B DCMR Chapter 32).

• Experience supervising a bargaining-unit nursing workforce.

• MatrixCare, MDS/RAI, and Payroll-Based Journal (PBJ) ownership preferred.

WHY KNOLLWOOD

Knollwood is a nonprofit life plan community in upper Northwest Washington, DC, operated by The

Army Distaff Foundation. We serve retired military and their families. Independent living, assisted

living, memory care, and skilled nursing sit on one campus, which means residents do not become

strangers when their needs change — and neither do the people who care for them.
