What are the responsibilities and job description for the Registered Nurse - RN First Assistant - Weill Cornell - Operating Room - Full Time - Day Flex position at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital?
World-Renowned Operative Care
OR Nurses Make It Possible
Registered Nurse - RN First Assistant - Weill Cornell - Operating Room - Full Time - Day Flex
At NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, OR nurses discover an environment where the exceptional is no exception. Today, we remain the go-to for highest acuity trauma, oncology surgery and neurosurgery cases. From pioneering “scarless” surgery techniques to multi-organ autoplantation, our 4,500 patient-focused RNs experience and achieve more than most can imagine. Take the next step in your operating room career as an RN First Assistant. Assist in a variety of cases, including robotic services. Serve as a beacon of hope and provide world-renowned innovative care to our patients.
The primary role of an RFNA is to provide bedside assistance in robotic procedures, while the surgeon operates via the console. RNFAs assist the surgical team by expediting the setup of cases, including patient positioning, prepping and draping. With their experience, RNFAs have an acute awareness of each surgeon's preferences and steps to their procedures, and are thus more able to streamline the intraoperative process and minimize delays. RNFAs are also an asset to the nursing team by assisting with room set up and ensuring that proper instrumentation and supplies are available for the procedure. Turnaround times have been notably expedited by the RNFAs, who facilitate the flow of the operating room, which allows the intraoperative time to be used to its maximum potential.
Nursing is a life-changing career journey focused on amazing patient outcomes every step of the way. Each of our nurses dares to be truly excellent – thriving in a compassionate culture of care and caring. Together, we improve the health of patients and their families, making our communities – and the world – stronger.
You’ll work with the brightest minds in healthcare to make tomorrow better for countless human beings. It’s the kind of nursing that requires an unwavering commitment to excellence and a constant spirit of professionalism. And it’s your opportunity to enjoy flexible scheduling, shared clinical decision-making, inspirational leadership, supportive colleagues and much more. Now, you have the opportunity to join us.
This is a full time day flex position, 4 days per week, at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
