Full Time - 80 hrs. Biweekly

Meritus Health is seeking an experienced and versatile Registered Nurse to join our Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) and work as part of a collaborative, multi-specialty surgical team.

Our ASC provides care to both adult and pediatric patients across a variety of surgical specialties, including ENT, gynecology, general surgery, cosmetic and plastic surgery, and other outpatient procedures
. This is a unique opportunity for an RN who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced surgical environment, and wants to remain clinically engaged throughout the entire perioperative experience
.

Unlike roles focused on one phase of surgical care, our ASC RNs are cross-trained and rotate throughout Pre-Op, the Operating Room, PACU, and Pre-Admission Testing (PAT). You'll have the opportunity to build relationships across the surgical team while maintaining a broad and diverse perioperative skill set.

What You'll Do:

As an ASC RN, you won't be limited to just one area. You'll rotate throughout the surgical center and support patients from preparation for surgery through recovery.

Operating Room / Circulator

• Serve as the circulating RN during surgical procedures
• Coordinate patient care and maintain patient safety throughout the intraoperative period
• Complete surgical safety checks, documentation, counts, positioning, and other circulating responsibilities
• Maintain sterile practice and ensure compliance with perioperative standards
• Anticipate the needs of the surgical team across multiple specialties and procedures

What the job is really like:

• Variety is a major part of this role. You may work in Pre-Op, the OR, or PACU depending on the needs of the surgical center
• You’ll care for patients across multiple specialties rather than focusing on one surgical service line
• You’ll work with both adult and pediatric populations
  , making strong assessment and communication skills essential
• ENT experience is particularly important due to the patient population and procedures performed within the center
• You’ll work closely with surgeons, anesthesia providers, surgical technologists, nurses, and other clinical professionals as part of a highly collaborative team
• ASC nursing requires efficiency without sacrificing safety, quality, or the patient experience
• Patient turnover can be rapid, so strong organization, prioritization, and communication are essential
• You’ll need to be comfortable transitioning between different roles, patient populations, and surgical specialties
• Successful nurses in this environment are flexible, clinically confident, team-oriented, and willing to step in wherever they are needed

Work Environment and Demands:

• Fast-paced, multi-specialty ambulatory surgical environment
• Care provided to both pediatric and adult surgical patients
• Frequent standing, walking, positioning, and movement throughout the surgical center
• Ability to safely assist with patient positioning and transfers
• Requires sustained attention to patient safety, infection prevention, sterile technique, and surgical protocols
• Regular collaboration with surgeons, anesthesia providers, nursing colleagues, surgical technologists, and other members of the perioperative team
• Requires flexibility to rotate among Pre-Op, OR/Circulator, and PACU based on patient volume and operational needs

What Success Looks Like:

• Patients receive safe, efficient, compassionate care throughout their entire surgical experience
• You are comfortable and competent working across Pre-Op, OR, and PACU
• You confidently…
