As an OR RN, you will deliver safe, evidence‑based perioperative nursing care to surgical patients across a variety of specialties, including general surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, cardiovascular, and emergency procedures. You will be responsible for pre‑operative assessment, intra‑operative patient advocacy, and post‑anesthesia recovery support, ensuring that each patient receives compassionate, high‑quality care consistent with HealthONE’s mission of excellence and community well‑being. In this role, you will collaborate closely with surgeons, anesthesia providers, surgical technologists, and other interdisciplinary team members to plan and coordinate each procedure. You will circulate and, as appropriate based on training and policy, may scrub for cases, manage sterile fields, verify consents, perform surgical time‑outs, administer and monitor IV therapies and medications, and maintain accurate, timely documentation in the electronic medical record. You will monitor patient status, respond rapidly to changes in condition, and follow all infection prevention and patient safety protocols, including instrument and sponge counts, equipment checks, and adherence to universal precautions. The Operating Room environment at HealthONE is fast‑paced, technology‑driven, and focused on continuous improvement. You will work with advanced surgical and monitoring equipment, assist with set‑up and turnover of rooms, ensure proper operation and troubleshooting of devices, and participate in quality and performance‑improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and OR efficiency.

You will also serve as a resource and mentor to new nurses, students, and support staff, helping to foster a learning environment committed to professional growth and high standards of clinical care. Candidates for this position should bring strong critical‑thinking skills, the ability to prioritize and manage multiple cases, and comfort working in high‑acuity, high‑stress situations such as trauma or emergent surgeries. You should be proficient in perioperative nursing principles, sterile technique, patient positioning, and the recognition and escalation of life‑threatening complications. A commitment to ongoing professional development, participation in mandatory education and certifications, and adherence to all regulatory and accreditation standards is essential. At HealthONE, you will have opportunities to expand your skills through continuing education, specialty certifications, cross‑training to different service lines, and participation in shared governance councils.
