Your job is more than a job.

It’s one of nursing’s best kept secrets. As a Recovery Room Nurse, you’re a vital part of the Post Anesthesia Critical Unit (PACU) following radiology, cath lab, special procedures or surgery. While patients are still under the effects of anesthesia, each patient’s recovery has its own pace, and so you monitor attentively until they are stable enough to go to their hospital room or discharged home. Breathing, pain, vital signs, surgical site, and oxygen levels are closely monitored, and you react at a moment's notice to unusual changes - never hesitating to enlist your team members for assistance if needed. These few hours spent with your patients are often short, yet critical and essential.

And at the end of your shift, tired is a given, but so is fulfillment. You understand that and bring your "one-of-a-kind" heart to our one-of-a-kind healthcare again the next day. That little extra something is what we love about you.

Your experiences, your knowledge, your skills, your empathy, your compassion, your personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you will bring to this critical nursing role.

Your Everyday

Organize, prioritize, and coordinate post-operative patient care such as checking lines, tubes, or drains, managing pain, and body positioning.

Educate and prepare patients and their families on home care after discharge.

Perform required clinical documentation and post-operative assessments.

Monitor your patient after surgery for pain and/or complications and the surgery site for healing or infection following Joint Commission infection control and environment of care requirements.
