About The Position
One Day Surgery PACU is a fast‑paced and rewarding nursing environment that cares for a broad and dynamic surgical population. Our patients include those undergoing GYN, GYN/Oncology, UroGYN, Robotic procedures, General Surgery, ENT, Orthopedic Trauma, Urology, Breast Oncology, Plastic/Reconstructive Surgery, and Pediatrics. This diverse case mix offers an enriching experience for nurses looking to expand their clinical skill set and build a strong foundation in Perianesthesia nursing. Our PACU includes a 14‑bay Phase I area and a 13‑bay Phase II area. PACU nurses work in both phases, providing immediate post‑anesthesia recovery care as well as later‑stage preparation for discharge. This integrated model allows nurses to develop a deeper, more comprehensive knowledge of Perianesthesia nursing across the full continuum of care. Our team is deeply committed to meeting each patient where they are—clinically, emotionally, and culturally—while providing a supportive, compassionate experience for both the patient and their family. We understand that surgery can be a vulnerable time, and we strive to make every interaction reassuring, respectful, and informative. We value Professional Governance through an active Unit Practice Council, support advancement through the Clinical Ladder, and encourage pursuit of specialty certification. Above all, we are dedicated to cultivating a strong unit culture where we lift everyone up, lead the way, think boldly together, and embrace the unknown. Enjoy a Monday–Friday schedule (0700–2030) with no call shifts, allowing you to grow your Perianesthesia skills while maintaining balance outside of work. As a skilled and compassionate RN, you will play a pivotal role in providing and coordinating comprehensive patient care through the nursing process to deliver safe, therapeutic care in accordance with established standards, policies, and procedures.
