Perioperative Registered Nurse

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. • A small, collaborative team in a Quad A–accredited surgery center.
