Pre-Op/PACU Registered Nurse (RN)

PACU / Pre-Op Registered Nurse – No Call, No Weekends, No Holidays

A growing outpatient surgery center is adding an experienced PACU / Pre-Op Registered Nurse to its team following a nearly 74% increase in monthly surgical volume. The center specializes in ENT and ophthalmology procedures and is looking for a nurse who wants to join a growing team while enjoying a predictable schedule, competitive pay, and strong work-life balance.

Pay: $55–$60 per hour

Schedule

• Monday through Friday
• Full-time and part-time scheduling options available

• Typical start times around 6:30 AM, 7:30 AM, or after 8:00 AM

Leadership understands that employees have lives outside of work and is willing to work with team members who have appointments, family responsibilities, or other personal commitments.

Experience

PACU or Pre-Op experience is strongly preferred, particularly experience in an outpatient or ambulatory surgery setting.

ICU RNs are also encouraged to apply. The center is willing to train experienced ICU nurses who are interested in transitioning into an outpatient PACU / Pre-Op role.

Candidates with hospital-based PACU experience who are interested in transitioning to an outpatient environment are also encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable caring for surgical patients before and after procedures, monitoring recovery, assessing patients for discharge readiness, and working closely with the OR and surgical team to keep the day running efficiently.

Culture

The culture is one of the biggest reasons people enjoy working here. Leadership is empathetic, approachable, and genuinely invested in its employees.

The leadership structure includes an Administrator, Nurse Manager, Clinical Coordinators for both the OR and PACU, and an OR Business Manager.

The team has a "work hard, play hard" mentality. Everyone is expected to work hard and support one another, but leadership also believes people should enjoy where they work.

The center regularly makes an effort to recognize and reward its team. Recently, employees participated in a bowling night where the winning team was supposed to receive two additional PTO days. The Administrator ultimately decided to give the two additional PTO days to everyone.

When cases finish early on a Friday, leadership has even allowed employees to leave early while still paying them for their full scheduled hours.

Recent employee satisfaction ranked in the 99th percentile.
