Assistant Director of Nursing (RN) – Grow Into a Director of Nursing Role

BrightStar Care of Appleton & Green Bay

Location: Appleton, WI, with future leadership opportunities in Green Bay, WI

Job Type: Part-Time with Potential for Full-Time Growth

Schedule: Primarily weekdays with flexibility based on clinical needs

Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Nursing Career?

Are you an experienced Registered Nurse looking for more than just your next nursing position? Would you like to continue providing hands-on patient care while developing your leadership and clinical management skills?

BrightStar Care of Appleton & Green Bay is looking for an Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) who is ready to grow into a future Director of Nursing (DON) role!

This is a unique opportunity to combine meaningful patient care with professional development and leadership training. You'll start part-time at our Appleton office, working alongside our experienced Director of Nursing and receiving hands-on mentorship in clinical operations, case management, quality assurance, and staff development.

As our Green Bay services continue to expand, you'll have the opportunity to take on greater responsibilities, increase your hours, and help lead our growing clinical team.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Career Advancement: Start as an ADON with a clear opportunity to grow into a Director of Nursing position.
  • Flexible Schedule: Begin part-time with primarily weekday hours and the potential for increased hours.
  • One-on-One Mentorship: Learn directly from an experienced Director of Nursing.
  • Meaningful Patient Care: Maintain hands-on clinical involvement while developing leadership experience.
  • Leadership Development: Build your skills in clinical operations, staff supervision, quality assurance, and compliance.
  • Growth Opportunity: Help establish and expand BrightStar Care's clinical services in Green Bay.

What You'll Do

Clinical Care and Case Management

  • Manage a small caseload of clients in the Appleton area, with opportunities to expand into Green Bay.
  • Conduct nursing assessments, reassessments, and supervisory visits.
  • Develop, review, and update individualized Plans of Care.
  • Coordinate care with clients, families, caregivers, and healthcare providers.
  • Provide skilled nursing services as needed, including medication management, wound care, and infusion therapy.
  • Monitor clinical documentation, client satisfaction, and quality of care.

Leadership and Professional Development

  • Work alongside the current Director of Nursing to learn clinical and operational responsibilities.
  • Assist with clinical oversight, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.
  • Support staff orientation, education, and competency evaluations.
  • Provide clinical guidance and mentorship to nursing and caregiving staff.
  • Participate in clinical record reviews and quality improvement initiatives.
  • Gradually assume greater responsibility for clinical operations as the Green Bay territory expands.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Active, unrestricted Wisconsin RN license.
  • At least 3 years of nursing experience.
  • Strong clinical assessment and critical-thinking skills.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and time-management abilities.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
  • Reliable transportation and willingness to travel throughout the Appleton and Green Bay areas.

Preferred Qualifications

  • BSN or higher nursing degree.
  • Experience in home care, home health, infusion therapy, or case management.
  • Previous supervisory or leadership experience.
  • Experience with wound care, medication management, or other skilled nursing services.
  • Familiarity with clinical documentation, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance.

Grow With a Team That Supports Your Success

At BrightStar Care, we believe in supporting our nurses just as much as they support our clients. You'll join a locally owned, RN-led organization that values professional growth, teamwork, and high-quality patient care.

This is your opportunity to build on your clinical experience, develop your leadership abilities, and prepare for a future Director of Nursing position without stepping away from patient care.
