Specialty
PACU nurse jobs, and hiring PACU nurses
PACU hiring usually moves with the operating room. A facility that needs both should select both specialties so the demand record is searchable either way.
NSI does not publish a separate PACU turnover rate in the summary we cite.
Across hospitals in the 2026 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report, staff RN turnover was 17.6% and the vacancy rate was 8.6%. Those are national hospital figures from 527 acute care hospitals in 40 states, covering calendar year 2025. They are not a vacancy rate for PACU in a particular city. Read the report.
Where to look
The first city pages are the metros we are building supply for. Every state has its own licensure and hiring page.
Does this page list PACU job openings?
No. JobPosting data is reserved for roles a partner actually publishes. This version has none.
Can a hospital see PACU nurses who want its city?
Yes, as an anonymous count and an anonymous summary, and only if the nurse opted in. There is no fit score on that screen. Names wait for the nurse’s approval.
