The Surgical RN – Clinical Operations is responsible for providing exceptional perioperative nursing care while helping establish and strengthen the clinical systems of a growing surgical practice.

This is a hands-on nursing position spanning patient medical readiness, pre-operative care, circulating, PACU, patient education, and clinical coordination. Because this position is part of a developing surgical practice, the RN will also play an active role in building consistent workflows, identifying opportunities for improvement, and creating reliable clinical processes as patient volume and the surgical team grow.
