At Catholic Health, our primary focus is the way we treat and serve our communities. We work collaboratively to provide compassionate care and utilize evidence-based practice to improve outcomes – to every patient, every time.

St. Joseph Hospital is a community hospital that provides comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, critical care and surgical services.  St. Joseph Hospital is proud to hold The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval, signifying full accreditation by the nation’s predominant standards-setting body in health care. Amongst many quality achievements, St. Joseph is also recognized by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association for GOLD quality achievements for both Stroke and AFIB.  In fact, St. Joseph is the first hospital on Long Island to earn the AFIB GOLD Quality Achievement Award. 

The post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) RN is responsible for providing care to post-operative patients recovering from the effects of anesthesia.  Due to the possibility of rapid changes in the patient's physiological condition, the PACU RN is required to administer diligent care via monitoring, assessment, intervention, and continuous reassessment of the post-operative patient.

• Recover, assess, monitor, administer medication and manage overall care for patients from pediatrics to geriatrics who have undergone surgical procedures under anesthesia (general, regional, and MAC).
• Partner with an interdisciplinary team including, but not limited to, attending physicians, registered nurses (RN), and ancillary staff to optimize patient outcomes and satisfaction.
• Advocate for and build meaningful relationships with patients' loved ones through safety intervention, emotional support and education.

What you'll bring:

• Associates in Nursing degree from an accredited school of nursing required
• Bachelor’s Degree preferred
• Licensed and currently registered as a professional nurse in New York State
