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.

Pre-Admission Testing (PAT)

• Assess airway, respiratory status, hemodynamic stability, pain, nausea, and surgical recovery
• Administer medications and interventions according to patient needs

What the job is really like:

• 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

• Patients receive safe, efficient, compassionate care throughout their entire surgical experience

• You confidently care for both adult and pediatric surgical patients
• You adapt easily between different surgical specialties, procedures, and patient needsYou anticipate the needs of your patients and surgical team

• Surgical safety, infection prevention, documentation, and regulatory standards are consistently met
• You contribute to efficient patient flow and on-time surgical operations
• You are known as a dependable, flexible team member who can step into multiple areas of the ASC
• Most importantly, you help create a surgical experience where patients and families feel safe, informed, and well cared for from pre-admission through discharge
