RN Clinical Educator / Staff Development

Position Overview

Love Nursing—but Ready to Use Your Experience Differently? You don't have to leave nursing to step away from traditional bedside shifts.

At Columbiana Health & Rehabilitation, we're looking for an RN Clinical Educator / Staff Development Coordinator to help train, mentor, and develop our nursing team.
