Bring Your Possibilities to Fairview

Fairview is hiring a Registered Nurse (RN) to join our SAU/PACU team at our M Health Fairview Lake’s Hospital in Wyoming, MN!

Our Same Day Surgery nursing staff provides quality and compassionate care for patients before and after same-day surgery/procedure as well as surgeries that occur before and during admission to the hospital. We provide emotional & educational support with preoperative phone calls, during their stay with us and post-operative follow-up phone calls. Because our department has a rapid turnover of short-term patients, our staff must have good assessment skills, the desire to work as a team and the ability to adapt to changing situations.

Schedule:

This SAU/PACU nursing position will be working 56 hours every two weeks on the rotating day/evening/nights and 8 hour shifts. Schedule requires call shifts during the week (1-2 week nights / month), on weekends (every 6th-8th weekend) and holidays. (Hours of operation 5:45-8:30pm)
