Registered Nurse, RN OR Limited Assignment

Your job is more than a job

When you got your first “Operation” game as a kid, you knew that being a part of a surgical team was somewhere in your future. Fast forward a few years and some nursing education, you understand that your obligation to your patient’s care before, during and after surgery is important to your surgical nursing role and it’s so much more fulfilling than a game. No doubt your expert technical skills are paramount, but you also understand that teamwork and communication are key tools in the operating environment. As the bridge between the patient, doctor, and surgical care touchpoints, you embrace your role as the information gatekeeper collaborating with the surgeon and anesthesiologist.

We think you’re kind of cool and would like to welcome you to the real deal operating room as a surgical nurse where intricacy, responsibility, and everyday extraordinary happens. You’re going to love it here. And we know that there’s no one like you.

Your experiences, your knowledge, your skills, your empathy, your compassion, your personality, all of it adds up to you. And we’re excited to get to know you and find out what you will bring to this critical nursing role.

Your Everyday
