Our dedicated team combines clinical excellence with a warm, compassionate approach to ensure every patient leaves with a smile.
POSITION SUMMARY
The Plastic Surgery Office Nurse is a versatile Registered Nurse who supports the full continuum of patient care in our accredited, physician-led cosmetic surgery practice. This role blends perioperative nursing — circulating in the operating room and recovering patients in the PACU — with clinic-based responsibilities including preoperative histories and physicals, GLP-1 weight management program support, and assisting with minor in-office procedures. The ideal candidate is adaptable, patient-focused, and comfortable moving between the surgical suite and the clinic as the daily schedule requires.
BENEFITS PACKAGE:
  • Competitive Compensation.
  • Medical, Vision, and dental insurance.
  • Mental Health + Wellness Benefits
  • Paid vacation and holidays.
  • 401k with company match.
  • Company-paid life insurance.

  • Team Member discounts.
  • Professional development assistance.
[*some benefits vary based on part-time vs. full-time employment status]
ESSENTIAL DUTIES amp; RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Circulate in the operating room, serving as the patient’s advocate and the liaison between the sterile field and the rest of the surgical suite.
  • Set up the operating room with supplies, equipment, and medications for each procedure; assist with room turnover and decontamination between cases.
  • Maintain strict aseptic technique, traffic control, and a sterile environment; perform accurate instrument, sponge, and controlled substance counts.
  • Prepare and administer medications and injections as ordered by the physician, and process specimens to the lab.
Perioperative – PACU / Recovery
  • Monitor patients and deliver skilled nursing care through all phases of post-anesthesia recovery.
  • Maintain a working knowledge of sedation medications, dosing, and reversal agents, and respond appropriately to the overly sedated patient.
  • Provide discharge teaching and communicate physician instructions clearly to patients, families, and outside care providers.
Clinic amp; Office Nursing
  • Complete preoperative histories, physicals, and nursing assessments, including allergies/sensitivities, medications, and past medical and surgical history.
  • Support the practice’s GLP-1 weight management program: patient screening and education, medication administration and self-injection teaching, weight and side-effect monitoring, and follow-up per physician protocol.
  • Assist providers with minor in-office procedures, including room setup, patient prep, instrumentation, and post-procedure care.
  • Perform suture and drain removal, dressing changes, and injections as ordered and within RN scope of practice.
  • Conduct pre- and post-operative patient education and respond to clinical patient calls, triaging concerns and escalating to providers as appropriate.
  • Assist with photography, charting, and documentation supporting consultations and follow-up visits.
Compliance, Documentation amp; Operations
  • Complete and maintain accurate medical records in accordance with facility and regulatory standards.
  • Ensure compliance with accreditation standards and organizational policies, including biomedical waste handling and sterilization quality control.
  • Assist with instrument processing and sterilization, supply and medication inventory, and day-to-day operational needs.
  • Maintain patient confidentiality at all times and perform related duties as assigned.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Current, unencumbered Registered Nurse license in the Commonwealth of Virginia (or valid multistate compact license).
  • Current BLS and ACLS certification (or ability to obtain prior to start).
  • Minimum 2 years of nursing experience; perioperative, PACU, ambulatory surgery, or plastic surgery office experience strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with GLP-1 medications and weight management protocols a plus.
  • Working knowledge of operating room equipment, sterilization processes, and aseptic technique.
  • Strong assessment, communication, and critical-thinking skills with a patient-first mindset and flexibility to support both surgical and clinic operations.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
Ability to stand and walk for extended periods; lift and position patients with assistance; lift up to 30 pounds; and maintain visual and auditory acuity sufficient for patient monitoring. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
