The assistant director of nursing is tasked with ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the nursing staff, which ranges from planning and evaluating nursing systems, rotations, and methods to ensuring that individual patients are receiving optimal care. The assistant director of nursing services is usually the second-highest ranked nurse in a facility, answering to the director of nursing services.
