  • Ensure accurate documentation, review diagnostic results, and provide discharge instructions and follow-up guidance
  • Collaborate with surgical, anesthesia, and perioperative teams to optimize patient flow and support efficient daily operations
  • Uphold patient safety and regulatory standards, including adherence to AORN, ASPAN, CMS, and organizational protocols
Required Qualifications
  • Graduate of an approved RN School of Nursing
  • Current Vermont or multi-state RN license required
  • Current BLS certification from the American Heart Association required
  • ACLS required (or ability to obtain during orientation)
  • Minimum of 2 years of nursing experience preferred; ambulatory surgery, perioperative, or acute care experience preferred
  • Strong clinical assessment, communication, and organizational skills in a fast-paced environment
