RN - OR

Operating Room Registered Nurse

Candidates must have strong overall OR experience. Experience with orthopedic procedures, such as total joints, scopes, and fractures, is preferred. The department includes 10 OR suites and 2 procedure rooms. The average number of cases per day is 40-50. Common cases in this department include orthopedic, GGU, ENT, and ophthalmology procedures. Scrubbing is not required for RNs, but it is helpful. Two RNs are assigned as charge nurses/house supervisors, sharing responsibilities for staffing and running the board. We have modified self-scheduling for our staff, allowing them to choose preferred late days and days off if under 1.0 FTE. Shifts typically include 0645-1515 and 0900-1730. Scheduled late shifts occur on average twice a week. There are no weeknight or call requirements. Weekend and holiday call requirements do not apply. Staff may float to the inpatient OR on campus as needed. Scrubs are provided for staff. Unit and department-specific orientation lasts 3-5 days, with the goal of keeping it as close to 3 days as possible.
