Perioperative Registered Nurse
- Location: Ashburn, Virginia — Quad A–accredited office-based surgery center
- Schedule: Approximately 24–30 hours per week
- Pay: $35–$40 per hour, based on experience
About the Role:
NOVA Plastic Surgery is looking for a compassionate, detail-oriented Registered Nurse to join our surgical team. You'll provide one-on-one patient care through every phase of surgery, from pre-op to the operating room to recovery, in a Quad A–accredited office-based surgery center.
Operating room experience is a plus but not required. If you're a skilled RN who wants to grow into perioperative nursing, we'll train you. You'll trade the pace of a hospital floor for focused, one-patient-at-a-time care with a close-knit team.
Schedule:
- Approximately 24–30 hours per week, daytime hours.
- Must be available every Tuesday and Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Remaining hours are scheduled based on the surgical calendar.
What You'll Do
Pre-Operative:
- Verify patient identity and confirm the correct site and procedure on the consent.
- Guide patients through signing consents and waivers.
- Assess and document vital signs, allergies, height and weight on the anesthesia record.
- Start peripheral IVs and give pre-op medications as ordered.
- Chaperone the surgeon during pre-surgical markings.
Intraoperative (Circulating):
- Help the CRNA with induction and intubation, and be present for extubation.
- Position patients safely and apply grounding pads, SCDs and warming blankets.
- Maintain infection control and perform surgical counts before, during and after each procedure.
- Monitor equipment and coordinate the team's response in an emergency.
Recovery (PACU):
- Monitor vital signs, level of consciousness and surgical sites, and report concerns to the surgeon.
- Give medications as ordered and monitor patients until they meet discharge criteria.
Surgery Center Operations:
- Complete the daily checklist and make sure oxygen and emergency supplies are stocked in the OR, pre-op and PACU.
- Monitor and order supplies, receive inventory and help with quarterly inventory counts.
- Keep surgeon preference cards up to date in NexTech and on the shared drive.
- Perform sterile processing duties.
- Help maintain Quad A accreditation standards and follow surgery center policies.
Requirements:
- Active Registered Nurse license in Virginia, or a multistate compact license that allows you to practice in Virginia.
- Current BLS certification.
- Current ACLS certification.
- Availability every Tuesday and Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Willingness to complete required continuing education, including online training modules.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Operating room, PACU or pre-op experience.
- Experience in an ambulatory or office-based surgery center.
- IV insertion experience.
- Familiarity with NexTech or a similar electronic medical record.
Why Join Us:
- One-on-one patient care in a calm, office-based setting.
- Training in perioperative nursing for RNs new to the OR.
