Job Description

SCA Health is a leading provider of specialty healthcare services dedicated to improving the quality and accessibility of care for patients across the United States. As part of Optum, a health services and innovation company, SCA Health operates a vast network of over 370 ambulatory surgical centers, more than 400 specialty physician practice clinics, along with labs and surgical hospitals. With a workforce exceeding 15,000 professionals, SCA Health focuses on supporting physicians, health systems, and employers in delivering efficient, high-quality, and value-based care while maintaining physician autonomy. The organization’s foundation is built on a mission, vision, and seven core values: clinical quality, integrity, service excellence, teamwork, accountability, continuous improvement, and inclusion. These values are deeply ingrained within the company culture and guide every decision, action, and interaction.

At SCA Health, the emphasis is on health care as a service for people — patients, physicians, and employees alike. The company fosters an environment where innovation thrives through collaboration and learning, empowering team members to make a meaningful impact on patient outcomes and the healthcare landscape. Employees are encouraged to bring ideas that drive change and enhance care delivery while aligning with the organization’s commitment to patient-centered solutions and ethical practice.

This particular role is for a Registered Nurse (RN) specializing in Preoperative Care (PreOp). It involves assessing and managing the health status of patients preparing for surgery, ensuring their safety and comfort through clinical excellence and compassionate care. The PreOp RN plays a crucial role in developing individualized perianesthesia plans, monitoring vital physiological functions, administering medications, and providing education and emotional support to patients and their families throughout the perioperative process.

The position is designed for a healthcare professional who values teamwork, meticulous attention to detail, and proactive communication within a multidisciplinary setting. Registered Nurses in this role must demonstrate knowledge of pathophysiology, anesthesia techniques, and clinical interventions to maintain patient stability before surgery. They must also exercise advocacy for patient safety, adhering to universal protocols and facility policies to prevent injury and infection.

SCA Health offers a comprehensive benefits package for this role, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan with company matches, paid time off, as well as life and disability insurance. The compensation for this position ranges between USD 35.00 and USD 50.00 per hour, reflecting the expertise expected and the critical nature of the duties involved. The role is both rewarding and challenging, offering opportunities for professional growth, collaborative practice, and direct impact on patient care quality. By joining the SCA Health team, Registered Nurses will become part of a respected organization committed to improving healthcare outcomes and supporting the health and well-being of communities across the nation.
