Interim healthcare leadership
Interim Director of Nursing & Administrator leadership
When a facility loses its Director of Nursing or Administrator, the survey calendar does not pause. Nursing Executives places an experienced, nurse-led leader in the role to keep care and compliance on course until a permanent hire is in place.
What we provide
Leadership for the gap between one leader and the next
Interim Director of Nursing
Day-to-day clinical leadership: staffing and scheduling, policy and competency oversight, infection control, quality and QAPI/QA-PI, and regulatory readiness.
Interim Administrator
Operational leadership that covers the full facility: vendors, physical plant and life safety, credentialing support, finances, and communication with ownership and regulators. Administrator roles are subject to each state’s licensure rules.
Transitions & survey readiness
Support through openings, ownership changes, accreditation preparation and structured closures, where documentation and sequencing decide the outcome.
The experience behind the work
Led by a nurse executive who has run the whole facility
Nursing Executives is led by Bryan Woltemath, RN, BSN, who has served as both Director of Nursing and Administrator of an ambulatory surgery center — while still working the floor as a pre-op, circulating and PACU nurse.
- Opened a surgery center and led it through its first AAAHC accreditation survey.
- Directed an EHR rollout, staff training and documentation workflows to CMS and AAAHC standards.
- Navigated a corporate ownership transition with stable staff retention, then directed a regulatory-compliant closure.
- Sustained patient-satisfaction scores above 90% across all categories.
- 15+ years of critical care and perioperative nursing.
Where we focus
Ambulatory surgery centers are our deepest experience. We also take interim leadership engagements at skilled nursing and long-term acute care facilities where the role, the licensure and the facility’s needs line up.
Based in Houston, Texas, and available for travel assignments. Nurse licensure is Texas multistate; assignments in other states depend on that state’s licensure requirements, which we confirm before we agree to an engagement.
How an engagement works
Four steps, in writing
1. A direct conversation
You talk with the nurse executive who would be in the role — not a recruiter — about the vacancy, the survey calendar and what has to hold steady.
2. A written agreement
Scope, term, reporting lines and responsibilities are set in a Master Services Agreement before any work starts.
3. Credentials before day one
License verification and the onboarding documentation your facility requires are completed before the assignment begins.
4. A clean handoff
We document the state of the department and hand it to your permanent hire so the next leader starts from facts, not from scratch.
