Job Details
Recovery Room Nurse
Your job is more than a job. It's one of nursing's best kept secrets. As a Recovery Room Nurse, you're a vital part of the Post Anesthesia Critical Unit (PACU) following radiology, cath lab, special procedures or surgery. While patients are still under the effects of anesthesia, each patient's recovery has its own pace, and so you monitor attentively until they are stable enough to go to their hospital room or discharged home. Breathing, pain, vital signs, surgical site, and oxygen levels are closely monitored, and you react at a moment's notice to unusual changes - never hesitating to enlist your team members for assistance if needed. These few hours spent with your patients are often short, yet critical and essential.
And at the end of your shift, tired is a given, but so is fulfillment. You understand that and bring your "one-of-a-kind" heart to our one-of-a-kind healthcare again the next day. That little extra something is what we love about you. Your everyday organizes, prioritizes, and coordinates post-operative patient care such as checking lines, tubes, or drains, managing pain, and body positioning. Educate and prepare patients and their families on home care after discharge. Perform required clinical documentation and post-operative assessments. Monitor your patient after surgery for pain and/or complications and the surgery site for healing or infection following Joint Commission infection control and environment of care requirements. Monitor and intervene for postoperative complications. Perform CPR or other emergency measures if required. Collaborate with surgery team to identify and meet the overall needs of patient care or when unable to complete assignments or perform tasks promptly, effectively, or safely. Maintain and advocate a safe environment for everyone. Ensure continuity of care, efficient throughput, consistent communications, and an exceptional experience for every patient. Initiate patient and family education on the operation and post-operation care as required.
The Must-Haves Minimum: Current nursing license to practice in Louisiana and as defined by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing. Current American Heart Association BLS certification. Current ACLS and PALS certifications. Preferred: BSN, 1 year in a related clinical area, Certified Critical Care Nurse or Certified Post Anesthesia Nurse.
