Job description

Perioperative Registered Nurse

• Location: Ashburn, Virginia — Quad A–accredited office-based surgery center

• Schedule: Approximately 24–30 hours per week

• Pay: $35–$40 per hour, based on experience

About the Role:

NOVA Plastic Surgery is looking for a compassionate, detail-oriented Registered Nurse to join our surgical team. You'll provide one-on-one patient care through every phase of surgery, from pre-op to the operating room to recovery, in a Quad A–accredited office-based surgery center.

Operating room experience is a plus but not required. If you're a skilled RN who wants to grow into perioperative nursing, we'll train you. You'll trade the pace of a hospital floor for focused, one-patient-at-a-time care with a close-knit team.

Schedule:

• Approximately 24–30 hours per week, daytime hours.
• Must be available every Tuesday and Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Remaining hours are scheduled based on the surgical calendar.

What You'll Do

Pre-Operative:

• Verify patient identity and confirm the correct site and procedure on the consent.
• Guide patients through signing consents and waivers.
• Assess and document vital signs, allergies, height and weight on the anesthesia record.
• Start peripheral IVs and give pre-op medications as ordered.
• Chaperone the surgeon during pre-surgical markings.

Intraoperative (Circulating):

• Help the CRNA with induction and intubation, and be present for extubation.
• Position patients safely and apply grounding pads, SCDs and warming blankets.
• Maintain infection control and perform surgical counts before, during and after each procedure.
• Monitor equipment and coordinate the team's response in an emergency.

Recovery (PACU):

• Monitor vital signs, level of consciousness and surgical sites, and report concerns to the surgeon.
• Give medications as ordered and monitor patients until they meet discharge criteria.

Surgery Center Operations:

• Complete the daily checklist and make sure oxygen and emergency supplies are stocked in the OR, pre-op and PACU.
• Monitor and order supplies, receive inventory and help with quarterly inventory counts.
• Keep surgeon preference cards up to date in NexTech and on the shared drive.
• Perform sterile processing duties.
• Help maintain Quad A accreditation standards and follow surgery center policies.

Requirements:

• Active Registered Nurse license in Virginia, or a multistate compact license that allows you to practice in Virginia.
• Current BLS certification.
• Current ACLS certification.
• Availability every Tuesday and Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
• Willingness to complete required continuing education, including online training modules.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Operating room, PACU or pre-op experience.
• Experience in an ambulatory or office-based surgery center.
• IV insertion experience.
• Familiarity with NexTech or a similar electronic medical record.

Why Join Us:

• One-on-one patient care in a calm, office-based setting.
• Training in perioperative nursing for RNs new to the OR.
• A small, collaborative team in a Quad A–accredited surgery center.
