PRN Why This Role and Why Us? We're not your typical surgery center. We specialize in outpatient dental surgery for children and adults with special needs. That means we care for some of the most courageous and vulnerable patients — many with sensory, behavioral, or developmental differences — and we do it with creativity, curiosity, and heart. We're building a team that's deeply patient-centered, team-minded, and drama-free. We lead elbow-to-elbow, communicate directly and kindly, and don't believe in blame games. If you're the kind of nurse who loves pediatrics, thrives in the recovery room, and believes healthcare should be safe and fun — we want to meet you. What You'll Be Doing You'll play a key role in ensuring our patients wake up safe and supported post-anesthesia, and you'll help set the tone before they even go under.

Your day-to-day will include:

Prepping patients and families pre-op with compassion and clarity Monitoring, assessing, and managing patients recovering from general anesthesia Collaborating closely with anesthesia providers and dentists Communicating clearly with families — explaining what's happening in ways they understand Jumping in to support teammates whenever and wherever needed Maintaining a clean, safe, sensory-considerate space for recovery in accordance with established Federal, State, and accreditation standards and Center policies and procedures. Contributing to ongoing improvement, feedback, and the spirit of learning What We're Looking For This role is for a nurse who's as comfortable with beeping monitors as they are with a scared 6-year-old or a parent who needs a little extra reassurance.
