Location: Near Downtown Los Angeles, CA


Schedule: Nurses must be available to work a minimum of three (3) days per week. In addition, Saturday availability is required for a minimum of two (2) Saturdays per month. For weeks in which a Saturday is scheduled, the Saturday shift will be considered an additional workday, resulting in a four (4)-day workweek for those weeks.

Position Overview


We are a high-volume plastic surgery center seeking a skilled and motivated Registered Nurse to join our perioperative team. This role involves providing comprehensive patient care across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases while working collaboratively with surgeons, anesthesiologists, CRNAs, RNFAs, surgical technologists, and fellow nursing staff.


This is an excellent opportunity for a nurse interested in both surgical care and potential future growth into aesthetic medicine, including injectables and laser-based treatments.


Key Responsibilities

• Provides comprehensive perioperative and recovery care for patients undergoing cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes.
• Prepares the operating room and equipment for procedures including rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, abdominoplasty, and fat transfer (BBL).
• Functions as a circulating nurse, maintaining a sterile environment, coordinating with the surgical team, and advocating for patient safety.
• Performs IV insertion with a high level of proficiency, ensuring reliable access for sedation and fluid management.
• Demonstrates competency in urinary catheter insertion and perioperative patient preparation.
• Monitors patients during the recovery phase, including assessment of vital signs, airway status, pain control, and discharge readiness.
• Educates patients pre- and post-operatively regarding procedure expectations, recovery timelines, medications, and home care instructions.
• Collaborates effectively with multidisciplinary team members to ensure efficient surgical workflow in a fast-paced environment.
• Maintains accurate clinical documentation and adheres to all regulatory, safety, infection prevention, and accreditation standards.

Qualifications

• Active California Registered Nurse (RN) license.

• Strong IV placement skills required.
• Experience with urinary catheter insertion required.
• Previous operating room, PACU, surgery center, or perioperative experience strongly preferred.
• Must be fluent in both English and Spanish (bilingual required).
• Ability to effectively communicate with Spanish-speaking patients regarding pre-operative instructions, post-operative care, medications, recovery expectations, and patient education.

Scheduling Requirements

• Saturday availability is a condition of employment, with a minimum commitment of two (2) Saturdays per month.
• Employees must be available to work a minimum of three (3) days per week.
• Saturday shifts are in addition to the required three (3) weekly workdays. Therefore, employees scheduled to work a Saturday will work a total of four (4) days during that week.
• The three (3) weekly workdays will be scheduled based on employee availability and the operational and staffing needs of the surgery center.
• Additional weekday shifts and on-call opportunities may be available based on case volume and operational demands.

Ideal Candidate

• Thrives in a high-volume, fast-paced surgical environment.
• Demonstrates strong clinical judgment, attention to detail, and procedural competency.
• Team-oriented with excellent communication and patient care skills.
• Fluent in English and Spanish and comfortable providing direct patient education in both languages.
