OHSU's Doernbecher Children's Hospital (DCH) is a truly exciting place to work. We have 8 operating rooms and 2 procedure rooms. OHSU is the only hospital in Oregon that has intraoperative hybrid operating rooms for pediatric patients that use the most advanced imaging guidance for neurosurgery and minimally invasive cardiac surgeries. A whopping 70% of our nursing staff have advanced certifications and are engaged at the top of their licenses.

 

The ANM’s decisions and actions are based on ethical principles as outlined by the American Nurses Association. The ANM practices in adherence with the American Nurses Association’s (ANA) Nursing Administration: Scope and Standards of Practice for Nurse Administrators, the ANA Code of Ethics, the Oregon State Board Nurse Practice Act, and within the context of the Nurse Executive Competencies developed by the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE). The ANM exemplifies the principles of the OHSU Culture of Safety Position Statement by committing to a Just Culture, a Reporting Culture, a Learning Culture, and an Engaged Informed Culture.

The Assistant Nurse Manager (ANM) will work collaboratively with the Operating Room Nurse Manager to provide daily operational oversight and consistency to DCH Perioperative Services into the evening hours.  The primary focus of responsibility will be related to the Operating Room while providing support to PACU and Pediatric Sedation. Greater Perioperative call is shared with all team perioperative team members.

 

The Assistant Nurse Manager (ANM) is a registered nurse (RN) who is responsible for upholding excellence in the provision of nursing care through the implementation of the Profession Practice Model.
