Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering if you want stable hospital-based surgical nursing with a defined clinical ladder; not useful for clinicians actively trying to leave bedside care.
Who should apply
Bedside RNs with surgical, med-surg, or GI experience; new-grad nurses targeting a surgical specialty; nurses relocating to the Northern Virginia/DC metro area who want a large health-system employer.
CV angle
Lead with inpatient RN licensure and unit type, then quantify surgical patient volumes, post-op monitoring, drain/ostomy and wound care, ERAS or enhanced-recovery exposure, patient/family education, and EHR documentation. Mirror the posting's wording ("colorectal surgery," "surgical unit," "registered nurse") in your headline and skills section so the ATS matches, and keep licensure, BLS, and any specialty certification in a clearly parseable credentials block.
Skills to highlight
- Post-operative surgical patient monitoring
- Colorectal and ostomy/wound care
- Patient and family education
- Interdisciplinary team collaboration
- EHR documentation (e.g., Epic)
- Surgical unit workflow and discharge planning
