Description: IMPORTANT: A strict three-strike attendance policy has been implemented to support patient needs and ensure appropriate staffing coverage. Any RN contractor who is absent from a scheduled shift, arrives more than 20 minutes late for their scheduled shift, or fails to fulfill their scheduled shift in its entirety without prior approval will receive an attendance strike. This includes leaving a scheduled shift early without prior authorization. Any RN contractor who accumulates three attendance strikes will be terminated from their assignment effective immediately. Extenuating circumstances, such as communicable illness or hospitalization, accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be considered in favor of the contractor. This policy will take effect on September 1, 2026. Key responsibilities include: Continuously monitor vital signs and the patient's level of consciousness as they recover from anesthesia. Ensure a patent airway and adequate respiratory function, intervening quickly if an obstruction or respiratory distress occurs. Administer medications, such as painkillers, anti-nausea drugs, and fluids, to manage post-operative symptoms effectively and keep the patient comfortable. Assess surgical sites for bleeding or complications, check dressings, and perform physical assessments. Recognize adverse reactions to anesthesia or surgery and initiate appropriate emergency interventions. Maintain accurate and detailed patient records, and communicate effectively with the healthcare team regarding the patient's condition and care plan.
