A prestigious and trusted hospital in the Greater Los Angeles area is actively interviewing for an RN Educator to join a busy Surgical Services department. Join this award winning hospital that’s on the cutting edge of medical technology and technique.
Named one of America’s top hospitals, this 300-bed medical center has a reputation for compassionate care for its patients, for its community, and for its environment. The clinical and administrative leaders at this hospital have pushed patient care and satisfaction to the extremes, and they’d like your help to take it a bit further. The Surgical Services Educator will join a hospital that has been honored as one of the top 100 hospitals in the U.S. This Non-Profit facility has also received 5-star honors from CMS, is considered as one of the Top Places to Work in Healthcare, and has built a strong network of community healthcare partners.
Reporting to the Director of Education and Professional Nursing Development, the Surgical Services RN Educator will work alongside unit leaders to develop and deliver consistent education services. Working in collaboration with the Perioperative Services Director, CNOR Operating Room Nurse Managers, CPAN Post Anesthesia (PACU) Managers, as well as Surgical Services Supervisors / Coordinators, you’ll find a unit that is entirely on board with building a progressive education program.
Though you’ll get opportunities to address other populations, the Surgical Services Educator will primarily work in the Perioperative Services Department. A busy unit with 10 Operating Suites, 10 Post Anesthesia Care (PACU) beds, and a full complement of patient care and technical specialists, the Surgical Educator will be right at home sharing their expertise in patient care, nursing practice, and education techniques. Performing around 10K procedures annually, the Surgical Services RN Specialist will provide education for wide range of procedure type including OB-GYN, Orthopedic, ENT, Podiatry, Cardiac, and General Surgery.
The Surgical Services Nurse Educator will take a primary role in developing and implementing staff education initiatives in the Surgical Services Department. Working with unit and hospital leadership buy-in, you’ll create curriculum and workshops to test the clinical knowledge of various skill levels throughout the unit. Strong experience in analyzing skill gaps and developing innovative methods to address gaps will surely be an important skill set.
One of the most beautiful and iconic areas of California, the San Fernando Valley / Los Angeles Area has something for everyone. The Nurse Educator of Surgical Services will discover that anything you want is just a short drive away. A bit west, and your toes are dipped in the sun-warmed sand of the Pacific Ocean. A short drive north, and you’ll be smack in the middle of Southern California’s wine country, with tons of outdoor activities to partake in. Just a bit south and you’ll find the heart of Los Angeles, with all the lights, cameras, and action that make it so irresistible for so many.
The Surgical Services Education Specialist will serve in a full-time role, and will take responsibility for a growing department that is as critical as it is complex. To help you meet that challenge, you will be supported by a generous benefits package and a competitive compensation.
