Job description

Deliver highly specialized procedural care in a fast-paced endoscopy environment where every patient interaction directly impacts outcomes, safety, and experience. This role brings together technical skill, clinical judgment, and collaboration across a high-functioning multidisciplinary team.

As a Registered Nurse in Endoscopy at UVA Health, you will practice at the intersection of procedural care and patient-centered nursing. Working across both outpatient and hospital-based settings, you will develop advanced assessment skills while contributing to a high-throughput, team-driven clinical environment designed for growth and variety.

The Role

This is a dynamic, procedural nursing role where no two days are the same. You will rotate between key areas of the endoscopy workflow, balancing hands-on procedural support with pre- and post-care responsibilities in a high-acuity, high-efficiency environment.

  • Closely monitoring patient safety during procedures
• Providing comprehensive pre-procedure care, such as:
  • Conducting focused patient assessments and intake
  • Reviewing medical history and medications
  • Ensuring procedural readiness
  • Starting IVs and obtaining vital signs
• Managing post-procedure recovery, including:
  • Monitoring recovery and patient stabilization
  • Coordinating handoffs and clinical communication
  • Preparing patients for safe discharge
• Rotating responsibilities across procedure, prep, and recovery (~50/50 mix) to maintain skill diversity and engagement

You will work in a fast-paced, high-volume procedural setting, collaborating with a large team of nurses and technicians across two locations, with opportunities to expand into pulmonary and interventional subspecialties.

Schedule Highlights

• 4 x 10-hour shifts (7:00 AM - 5:30 PM)
