About this role
We are a freestanding, ambulatory surgery center, surgeon owned and operated.
We work M-F only, *no nights, weekends or call along with a cutoff for the last patient in the PACU recovery room by 3:15 p.m*. We perform ENT, cataracts, plastic surgery and dental procedures in our 5 OR facility.
We are looking for a full time RN for our PACU position. This individual would pre-op patients prior to surgery and would recover patients post-operatively depending on which area is assigned.
We offer a competitive package of wage and benefits as well as a productivity bonus of $3.00 per case for every case that we perform over 400 per month. We have been averaging about 500 cases a month and expect continued growth as patients learn that surgery centers are more cost effective.
Please let us know if you would like to join our team.
