Job Description

PACU Charge RN

Seattle, WA

Our Seattle-based Surgery Center is seeking a dedicated and leadership-driven PACU Charge Registered Nurse . This is a contract opportunity designed for a clinician who balances high-level clinical expertise with the ability to lead a team through the fast-paced environment of an ambulatory surgery center.

As the Charge RN, you won’t just be overseeing the floor; you’ll be the heartbeat of the unit—ensuring seamless patient flow, mentoring staff, and stepping in to provide hands-on care whenever needed.

Overview of Responsibilities

  • Daily Operations: Manage staff assignments, evaluate daily absences, and dynamically adjust schedules to account for procedure cancellations or additions.
  • Clinical Leadership: Serve as the primary point of contact for clinical emergencies, "codes," or complex patient recoveries (e.g., managing post-procedure seizures).
  • Direct Patient Care: Maintain "circulating" readiness to cover staffing gaps. This includes starting IVs and recovering patients who are slow to emerge from anesthesia.
  • Staff Development: Act as a mentor and resource for new staff, providing training on clinical basics and facility protocols.

Schedule/Shift:

  • 4x10s (Monday–Friday). No nights, no holidays, and no call .
  • Open to 5’8s schedule

Pay

  • $43.00 – $59.65 per hour depending on experience

Contract Length

  • Contract-to-Hire 1040 hours (6 months)

Qualifications:

  • Active RN License: Must hold a valid, unencumbered Washington State Registered Nurse license.
  • Leadership Experience: Minimum of two years in a Charge Nurse or supervisory role.
  • Certifications: Active BLS (AHA). ACLS and PALS (AHA) are required but can be completed shortly after hire.
  • Clinical Proficiency: Strong knowledge of surgical procedures, patient care management, and aseptic techniques.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 1+ years of experience in Pre-Op or PACU environments.
  • Prior experience in an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC).
  • Exposure to Endoscopy procedures.
