Same Day Surgery Nurse

Evaluate patients prior to surgery, provide patient and family education surrounding the procedure and peri-operative process, and assume responsibility for patient preparation including intravenous therapy, preoperative medications, and surgical site verification. Participate in surgical site verification, including briefing, time out, debriefing, and universal protocols. Recognize and respond to patient emergencies while consistently applying the nursing process, critical thinking skills, and technical skills to independently deliver safe nursing care. Assess patient condition, monitor throughout your shift, and document changes in patient condition along with the care provided thoroughly. Educate patients and families about the patient's medical condition, treatment, and follow-up measures. Self-scheduling is posted four weeks in advance; on-call is required during select non-business hours.
