In this role, RNs will work within 36 pre/post bays. We welcome new caregivers to collaborate with our multidisciplinary teams and contribute to nationally recognized, innovative neurological care. The Neuro Pre/Post Unit is a newly established unit in the state-of-the-art Neuro Building, designed to support patients through every stage of the surgical experience. This 36-bed unit brings together Pre‑Op and Post‑Anesthesia Care (PACU) into one cohesive, flexible environment, where nurses are cross‑trained to care for patients both before and after surgery. Focused exclusively on neurology patients, the team provides a seamless, specialized care journey from initial surgical preparation through immediate recovery within a space built specifically to advance neuro care. Caring for a diverse adult neurology population, the unit manages a full spectrum of surgical needs, from same‑day procedures to high‑acuity post‑operative recovery. Nurses are equipped with critical care competencies to support complex cases, while pediatric neurology patients are cared for in collaboration with specialized pediatric nurses.
