Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Provide vigilant overnight postoperative nursing care for pediatric surgical patients in a dedicated observation unit. Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure clinical stability, support family needs, and facilitate safe next-day discharge.
Must be a graduate of an accredited nursing program and hold a valid Registered Nurse license in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Requires at least one year of relevant experience and current American Heart Association BLS certification.
At UVA Health, pediatric perioperative care does not stop when surgery ends. This newly created Pediatric Surgical Observation Unit plays a critical role in ensuring safe overnight recovery, smooth patient flow, and exceptional family centered care for our youngest surgical patients. This is an opportunity to help shape a brand-new pediatric unit.
Experienced pediatric nurses understand that the hours after surgery are some of the most important. In this role, you will provide thoughtful, vigilant overnight care for pediatric surgical patients requiring 23‑hour observation, ensuring clinical stability, comfort, and readiness for next day discharge. This position is ideal for pediatric nurses who value clinical autonomy, lower patient ratios, strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and the opportunity to be part of something being built with intention and support. You will join a team designed to improve surgical throughput, decompress inpatient capacity, and elevate the pediatric perioperative experience at UVA Health.
As a Registered Nurse in Pediatric Surgical Observation, you will practice in a six bed, lower acuity pediatric surgical observation unit located directly adjacent to the Pediatric PACU on the main campus. The focus is overnight postoperative monitoring and recovery, bridging the gap between PACU and discharge.
The pace is focused and purposeful. Patient acuity is lower than inpatient units, yet the work requires strong pediatric assessment skills, sound clinical judgment, and comfort working independently at night.
On an average shift, you will:
Provide postoperative nursing care for pediatric surgical patients following scheduled procedures
Monitor recovery, pain control, airway stability, hydration status, and pediatric vital signs
Deliver family centered education and reassurance, supporting caregivers through the overnight recovery period
Depending on the scheduled shift, there may be opportunities to work across Pre-op and Post-op units as well.
Collaborate closely with Pediatric PACU staff, anesthesia providers, surgeons, and interdisciplinary team members
Support safe, timely next day discharge, reinforcing care plans and discharge readiness
Practice in a unit designed specifically for pediatric surgical observation, not inpatient acute care
Shift: 12 hour shifts, 1900-0730, scheduled Mon-Fri nights
This role is part of a phased expansion with structured onboarding, cross training in pediatric pre‑op and post‑op areas, and leadership support as the unit grows.
UVA Health is a nationally recognized academic health system where nursing practice is respected, supported, and continually evolving. This position supports critical health system goals, including decompressing inpatient pediatric units, reducing ED boarding, and improving surgical throughput, while maintaining the highest standards of pediatric nursing care.
A newly created pediatric surgical observation unit, designed to improve patient experience and support growing surgical volumes
Practice within an academic medical center known for excellence in pediatric care, research, and education
A strong, Magnet informed, nursing culture that values professional autonomy, shared governance, and evidence‑based practice
Leadership investment in training, stability, and phased implementation, particularly important for a new unit
The opportunity to help shape workflows, standards, and culture from the ground up
A role that offers meaningful impact with a focused patient population
