Become a key member of a world-class health organization, and contribute to the delivery of Magnet®-designated nursing excellence. At UCLA Health, our passion for advancing nursing practice has earned national recognition - including five consecutive Magnet® designations at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (placing us among fewer than 2% of U.S. hospitals with this honor), as well as dual Magnet® designations at both the UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center and the UCLA Health Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital.
As the Magnet® Program Manager within the Center for Nursing Excellence, you will bring a passion for nursing excellence, professional development, and inter-professional collaboration to this highly visible role. Based in Westwood, and supporting the entire UCLA Health system, you will partner with executive nursing leadership, Magnet® team members, and colleagues across several disciplines to champion Magnet® designation and re-designation efforts.
This is a unique opportunity for a clinical leader with a passion for mentoring, guiding, and inspiring nurses to engage in structures and processes that showcase their expertise. You will serve as an internal expert on Magnet® standards and requirements, while fostering innovation, professional practice, and performance improvement that ensures UCLA Health continues to set the benchmark for patient-centered, evidence-based care.
