Is a clinical coordinator a nurse manager?

Yes, a clinical coordinator is a nurse manager. Clinical coordinators have different titles depending on the company; however, their responsibilities seem to stay the same regardless of that title. Most clinical coordinators oversee staff, provide patient care, and manage clerical and financial duties.

Clinical coordinators are still required to have nursing experience, a degree in a related medical field, and be highly detail-oriented. These individuals may be pulled in different directions while performing their job duties, such as answering staff questions, seeing patients, and meeting with upper management to go over clinical budgets.
