Job Description:

　　You.

　　You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Post-Anesthesia Care Registered Nurse.

　　Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

　　You know how to stay organized and move fast. You thrive in fast-paced environments.

　　You’re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

　　Us.

　　Our pre-op and PACU have 34 bays/rooms respectively and we perform an average of 50 cases a day. Our nurse to patient ratio is 1:1 or 1:2 depending on the acuity of the patients, as we provide both inpatient and outpatient care, keeping the patient and family at the center of the experience. We are proud to be an accredited Chest Pain Center, a Primary Stroke Center, and a private teaching hospital.

We are proud to extend the mission of Intermountain Health by providing care for the poor, the vulnerable, our communities and each other. Our deep community roots date back to 1873, making us one of the oldest hospitals in Colorado.

　　Benefits (http://www.sclhealthsystem.org/careers/benefits/) are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

　　We.

　　Together we’ll align our mission and careers, values and workplace. We’ll honor each other’s dignity and surpass the standards we set. We’ll encourage joy, demand safety and take pride in our integrity.

　　We’ll laugh at each other’s jokes (even the bad ones). We’ll hello and high five. We’ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

　　We’re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.
