NJ Civil Service Navigator

DIRECTOR OF NURSING SERVICES 1

Heads nursing at a State facility — a psychiatric hospital, a developmental center, a veterans home — with responsibility for staffing round the clock, for clinical standards, and for the regulatory inspections that follow from both.

The title sits in the competitive division, is reached by examination, and requires a current New Jersey nursing license. The numeral marks a level in the series rather than a separate occupation. The specification for this level is not among those the Commission publishes.
