PRE OP PACU RN PRN

United Surgical Partners International • Per Diem • Roswell, Georgia • 3w ago

Roswell Surgery Center is a single specialty orthopedic practice. We are looking for a top-performer with solid knowledge of Pre- operative and PACU/ Recovery Nursing .This is a fast paced environment that is driven to reach the highest quality and satisfaction outcomes in Georgia. We are seeking to hire a clinical professional in an FT shift capacity.

The PRE-OP/PACU RN PRN has the responsibility to plan, direct organize, coordinate and implement all nursing care services for the pre-op and post surgical patients in a manner consistent with our mission statement. Nurses work within both pre-op holding and a post-anesthesia care unit (formerly known as the recovery room), where patients are cared for and monitored as they recover from the effects of anesthesia. The nurses responsibilities include all aspects of patient care prior to and following surgery. This care includes monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and respiration, as well as managing the pain and nausea that often follow anesthesia. Additionally they are responsible for:

Admits, transfers, and discharge of patients.
Completes ongoing patient assessment and documents according to policy.
Completes nursing assessment within 2 hours of admission or designated amount of time; designates reason for incompleteness. Reviews database and nutrition screen.
Participates in the development of patient plan of care to include patient problems, goals, evaluations and interventions.
Reports symptoms and significant changes in patient’s condition to appropriate personnel immediately.
Assesses, collaborates and coordinates patient’s discharge planning needs and readiness for discharge with other members of the care team.
Demonstrates appropriate application of age specific standards, policies and procedures and guidelines in caring for adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients.
Demonstrates proficient IV setting skills.
Follows age specific standards in administering medications based on patient’s age.
Follows age specific standards of care during altered states of consciousness related to analgesia, conscious sedation or anesthesia.

The surgical site itself requires ongoing evaluation for potential bleeding or other pathological indications. The pre-op/pacu nurse is in charge of assessing the patient’s overall condition during the delicate post-anesthesia period, providing care and intervention as needed. Ability to advocate on behalf of the patient and communicate with other members of the surgical team is a MUST! Documentation and patient education are also components of this critical nursing discipline. In our outpatient surgical setting, it’s the pre-op/pacu nurse who instructs patients in self-care techniques following the procedure and critical post-care instruction in order to ensure the best outcomes for the patient.
