Description
This is a pretty solid PACU RN opening at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, NM, especially for someone wanting 4x10s.
- Specialty: PACU RN
- Shift: 8:00 AM–6:30 PM, 4x10s
- Schedule: Rotating 4 days/week
- Start: ASAP
- EMR: Epic
- License: NM RN or Compact
- Required certifications: AHA BLS, ACLS & PALS
- Floating: Other units within Surgical Services
- Scrubs: Graphite gray
- Interview: No interview listed
- Experience: Posting doesn't give a specific minimum PACU experience requirement, although relevant experience determines clinical ladder placement.
Call requirements
This is the biggest thing I'd make sure the nurse knows:
Night call: 1 night per week
Weekend call: 2 weekends per month, with 12-hour Saturday/Sunday call shifts
So although it's a 4x10 day position, there's a fairly significant call commitment.
What I'd look for in a candidate
I'd target an experienced PACU/Phase I recovery nurse with strong post-anesthesia assessment, airway management, pain management, post-op complications, and experience recovering different surgical populations. Having Epic + current BLS/ACLS/PALS makes for a very clean submission.
