Where You'll Work:









  • Unified PACU Team:


    Weve recently combined our outpatient and inpatient PACUs into one team. We are now operating across two floors of the bed tower (Floors 1 and 4).






  • Outpatient Services:


    We handle a high volume of cases including orthopedics, gynecology, urology, vascular, interventional radiology (IR), brachytherapy, and ECTprimarily for patients being discharged the same day or staying short-term.






  • Inpatient Services:


    Similar surgical mix, but with more acutely ill patients and complex procedures who may require multiple vasoactive drips. We also care for ICU-level patients, excluding open-heart and fresh organ transplant cases. Intubated ICU patients may bypass PACU depending on bed availability.






  • Additional Services:


    We receive patients from IR, EP lab, and some from the Cath lab. After 7 PM, we also see some pediatric patients.






  • Work Environment:


    Our hospital-based setting means a higher acuity patient population. Scrubs are provided, and we use Epic for documentation.

  • Appropriate delegation to other Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and unlicensed assistive personnel (i.e., nurse aides, credentialed medical assistants, etc.).




  • Maintains accurate, timely EHR documentation.




  • May be required to float to other units, departments, care areas, or facilities within the designated service area to meet patient care needs.




  • Must be able to demonstrate knowledge and skills necessary to provide care appropriate to the age of the patients served. Must demonstrate knowledge of the principles of growth and development over the life span and possess the ability to assess data reflective of the patient's status and interpret the appropriate information needed to identify each patient's requirements relative to his/her age-specific needs, and to provide the care needed as described in the department's policies and procedures.
