About The Position

At Stony Brook Medicine, our Registered Nurses are critical members of the team who diagnose and treat responses to actual or potential health problems by means of nursing methods and techniques such as case finding, health teaching and counseling. Our valued team members provide care supportive to our patients' health and well-being, while adhering to a medical regimen. The Perioperative Nursing Training Program is a structured orientation that combines classroom education with hands-on clinical training. Participants are supported by experienced preceptors and educators throughout the program and will gradually assume increasing responsibility in perioperative nursing practice. Upon successful completion of the program, participants transition into a permanent Perioperative Staff RN role. Our OR nurses perform nursing activities across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of the patient’s surgical experience. Post-orientation shifts will be determined prior to completion of the program. Orientation hours are variable and include rotations across all shifts.
