Registered Nurse (RN) – Same Day Surgery (Multi-Specialty)
We are seeking a versatile and skilled Registered Nurse to join our Same Day Surgery team. This role is perfect for a clinician who thrives on variety, as you will provide care for a diverse patient population undergoing a wide range of surgical interventions.
In this position, you will rotate between Pre-Operative Preparation and Phase II Recovery/Discharge , serving as a critical link in the patient's surgical journey from arrival to home-going.
Clinical Scope
Our center handles a high acuity mix of cases. You will provide specialized perianesthesia care for procedures including, but not limited to:
- Vascular & Oncology
- Orthopedics & General Surgery
- Urology & Gynecology
- Bariatrics
Key Responsibilities
- Pre-Op Excellence: Perform comprehensive physical assessments, initiate IV access, and ensure patients are clinically and emotionally prepared for surgery.
- Post-Op Recovery: Manage Phase II recovery, focusing on pain management, hemodynamic stability, and surgical site monitoring.
- Specialized Care: Adapt nursing interventions based on the specific needs of the surgical specialty (e.g., mobility protocols for Orthopedics or education for Bariatric patients).
- Safe Discharge: Educate patients and caregivers on post-operative instructions, medications, and warning signs to ensure a safe transition home.
Qualifications
- Licensure: Active, unencumbered Registered Nurse (RN) license.
- Certifications: BLS and ACLS required.
- Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of RN experience. Background in surgical services, ICU, or ER is strongly preferred due to the mixed-specialty nature of the unit.
- Skills: Strong IV skills and the ability to educate patients across various surgical disciplines.
