About Us
At Plastic Surgery Northwest Ambulatory Surgery Center, we believe patients deserve exceptional care delivered with compassion, safety, and precision. Our ASC team is dedicated, collaborative, and committed to making every surgical experience as smooth and supportive as possible.
If you're looking for an opprotunity to work in a fast-paced outpatient surgery center where teamwork is valued and work-life balance is respected, we'd love to meet you.
Position Overview
We’re seeking an experienced Pre-Op/PACU Registered Nurse to join our Ambulatory Surgery Center team.
In this role, you'll guide patients through their surgical journey - from preparing them for surgery to providing attentive recovery care after their procedure. You'll serve as a patient advocate, working closely with surgeons, anesthesia providers, and fellow clinical staff to ensure safe, efficient, and compassionate care.
While your primary focus will be Pre-Op and PACU nursing, you'll also provide occasional break relief for circulating nurses, making this a great opportunity for nurses who enjoy variety while remaining focused on direct patient care.
What You’ll Do
- Prepare patients for surgery, including assessments, IV starts, medication administration, and patient education
- Monitor and care for patients in the PACU through all phases of recovery
- Assess pain, nausea, vital signs, airway status, and overall recovery progress
- Provide clear discharge instructions and patient education
- Collaborate closely with surgeons, CRNAs, and the surgical team
- Document patient care accurately within Nextech EMR
- Maintain a safe, organized, patient-centered environment
- Provide occasional break relief for circulating nurses while maintaining patient safety and sterile technique
What We’re Looking For
- RN license in Washington (required)
- Current BLS and ACLS certifications
- Prior experience in PACU, Pre-Op, Surgery Center, or OR, or other perioperative nursing setting
- Strong assessment, communication, and critical thinking skills
- Commitment to patient safety and exceptional customer service
- Experience with circulating or intraoperative nursing preferred
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Day-shift schedule, Monday–Friday — no nights, weekends, or major holidays
- A team that supports each other and values collaboration
- The chance to grow professionally in a unique dual-competency role
- Competitive pay and benefits
Schedule
Full-time, weekdays only. Shifts are scheduled with advance notice.
