Job Description:
Job Description Job Description Baytown Surgery Center, a
licensed and accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in Baytown,
Texas, is seeking an experienced Registered Nurse with ASC
leadership background to serve as a part-time Director of Nursing
Consultant . This consulting role provides high-level oversight to
ensure ongoing compliance with Texas state licensing requirements
(Texas Health and Human Services Commission), Medicare Conditions
for Coverage, and current accreditation standards (e.g., AAAHC,
Joint Commission, or similar). This is not a full-time operational
management position . The consultant will focus on strategic
guidance, periodic audits, policy review, and preparation for
surveys/inspections, allowing the center to maintain its licensure
and accreditation while leveraging the consultant's expertise
efficiently. Key Responsibilities Provide oversight of nursing
services and clinical operations to ensure alignment with state,
federal, and accreditation standards. Conduct periodic on-site
reviews (1-2 days/week) of clinical documentation, infection
control practices, quality assurance/performance improvement (QAPI)
programs, risk management, and patient safety protocols. Review and
update nursing policies, procedures, and competencies as needed to
maintain compliance. Assist in preparing for accreditation surveys,
state inspections, and Medicare deeming status renewals, including
mock surveys and corrective action plans. Monitor credentialing and
competency of nursing staff; advise on staff development and
training needs. Serve as a resource for the ASC Administrator and
Governing Body on nursing-related regulatory matters. Participate
in QAPI meetings (in-person or virtually) and review incident
reports, infection control data, and peer review processes. Ensure
the center's nursing practices support safe, high-quality patient
care in pre-op, intra-op, and post-op phases. Qualifications
Current, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of
Texas. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) required; Master's
degree in Nursing or Healthcare Administration preferred. Minimum
of 5 years of clinical experience in perioperative nursing (OR,
PACU, or ASC setting). At least 3 years in a nursing leadership
role, preferably as Director of Nursing or similar in an Ambulatory
Surgery Center. Strong knowledge of Texas ASC regulations (25 TAC
Chapter 135 / 26 TAC Chapter 508), CMS Conditions for Coverage (42
CFR Part 416), and accreditation standards (AAAHC, Joint
Commission, or equivalent). Experience with accreditation surveys,
quality improvement initiatives, and infection prevention highly
preferred. Certifications such as CNOR (Certified Nurse Operating
Room), CASC (Certified Administrator Surgery Center), or similar a
plus. Excellent communication, organizational, and analytical
skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively.
Professional liability insurance required. What We Offer
Competitive consulting rate (hourly or daily, commensurate with
experience). Flexible part-time schedule focused on high-impact
oversight rather than daily operations. Opportunity to support a
community-focused ASC while maintaining work-life balance.
Independent contractor status (1099). To apply, please submit your
resume, proof of current RN licensure, and a brief summary of your
ASC compliance experience to [insert contact email or application
instructions]. We are an equal opportunity employer and look
forward to discussing how your expertise can help us maintain
excellence in patient care.
