Registered Nurses use the nursing process to effectively plan and manage quality patient care. Biophysical, psychosocial, environmental, self-care, educational and discharge planning needs are addressed in all steps of the nursing process. This is demonstrated in base-line and comparative documentation, entered in a timely manner, and with evidence of age-appropriate consideration when care is planned, delivered, and evaluated.

Surgery is a difficult time for patients and loved ones. Protecting our patients’ well-being and privacy are priorities for us. The surgical journey at Moffitt Cancer Center follows a specific path.

The first part of a patient’s journey is a pre-anesthesia testing, or PAT, appointment where patients are evaluated before surgery.

The second part is the time before surgery or pre-surgery, when patients are preparing for surgery by following the personalized instructions from their clinic and PAT appointment. This area is know to be Pre-OP Holding.

Third, patients check into Moffitt for their surgery.

The fourth part is the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, also known as the PACU, where patients wake up from anesthesia after surgery.

The final part is after surgery or post-surgery. This is the patients’ recovery time.

We are currently looking for a Registered Nurse to join our team in the Pre-Op Holding area.
