What You'll Do
  • Provide compassionate, high-quality nursing care to pre-operative and post-operative patients
  • Monitor patients recovering from general, regional, or local anesthesia
  • Obtain and document complete nursing histories and assessments
  • Closely monitor vital signs and patient status, identifying and reporting any changes
  • Administer medications safely and accurately
  • Develop, implement, and evaluate individualized nursing care plans
  • Communicate effectively with physicians, patients, families, and care team members
  • Supervise and support non-licensed clinical staff as needed
