About the Opportunity We are developing a mobile coaching app designed specifically for nurse managers — one that delivers AI-powered coaching, task assistance, role-play scenarios, skill assessments, and micro-learning modules grounded in real-world nursing leadership practice. Our content library covers a wide range of competencies including change leadership, quality management, accountability, conflict resolution, financial management, and psychological safety, aligned with AONL standards. We're looking for an experienced nurse leader to serve as a content reviewer and subject matter expert. Your role is to ensure our modules are accurate, practical, and genuinely useful to nurse managers navigating the realities of today's healthcare environment — not just theoretically sound, but field-tested in feel. What You'll Do • Review AI-drafted micro-learning modules (typically 300–600 words each) for clinical accuracy, role accuracy, and real-world applicability to the nurse manager audience • Identify content that misrepresents the nurse manager's scope, authority, or day-to-day constraints — and recommend specific corrections • Suggest examples, scenarios, or language that will resonate with frontline nurse managers • Make direct edits and revisions to module drafts (not just notes — usable, publication-ready copy) • Flag content that may be overly theoretical, hierarchically unrealistic, or inconsistent with how healthcare systems actually operate • Provide input on new content topics and competency areas as the library expands What We're Looking For Experience • Minimum 5 years of experience as a nurse manager or in a comparable frontline nursing leadership role (e.g., charge nurse with management duties, assistant nurse manager, unit director) • Direct experience managing nursing staff, overseeing unit operations and finance, navigating interdepartmental relationships, and working within hospital administration structures • Familiarity with quality management processes, regulatory compliance, unit financial management, and staff performance management in a healthcare setting • Inpatient management experience preferred Knowledge • Working knowledge of AONL nurse manager competencies or equivalent leadership frameworks • Understanding of the unique pressures nurse managers face: staffing, shift coverage, staff engagement, communication up and down the hierarchy, budget constraints, etc. Writing & Communication • Strong written communication skills — you can revise a paragraph and hand it back clean, not just leave margin comments • Functional, competent knowledge of basic grammar and punctuation standards • Ability to write in a clear, direct, coaching-oriented voice appropriate for a mobile learning platform • Comfortable working with structured content formats (e.g., scenario-based learning, reflection prompts, action steps) Nice to Have • Experience in nursing education, staff development, or preceptorship • Familiarity with use of large language models for AI-based content creation • BSN required; MSN or other advanced degree preferred Logistics • Engagement type: Freelance / consulting contract • Hours: Flexible; hourly rate or volume-based (paid per module reviewed) • Timeline: We estimate this project will require 75-100 hours of work but can be flexible on time to completion depending on your availability. We would like the work to be completed by July 2026.
