Travel Registered Nurse OR Job

Step into a life-changing role as a Registered Nurse in the OR, stationed in Mount Clemens, Michigan, with a start date of December 1, 2025. This is your invitation to bring expert hands, calm leadership, and a patient-centered mindset to a fast-paced surgical environment where every incision, every prep, and every handoff matters. You’ll collaborate with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and fellow perioperative teammates to ensure impeccable sterile technique, precise instrumentation, and seamless flow from pre-op through post-anesthesia care. As you advance in this specialty, you’ll witness the direct impact of your skill on patient recovery, family peace of mind, and the overall efficiency of the OR. And while you’re building a powerful career, you’ll also have the opportunity to savor Michigan’s splendor—coastlines that glitter along the Great Lakes, the rolling dunes and fall colors that transform road trips into memories, vibrant urban centers, and peaceful inland retreats. From the shorelines near Mount Clemens to the lake-filled escapes of northern Michigan, your life in this state will blend professional fulfillment with natural beauty and seasonal charm.

Location Benefits: Mount Clemens offers a welcoming, community-focused backdrop with modern facilities and robust clinical teams. You’ll enjoy proximity to Detroit’s cultural institutions, dining, and metro amenities, along with the ease of weekend escapes to lakeside towns, charming waterfront districts, and scenic parks. The opportunity to work in multiple U.S. locations as part of a travel nursing program expands your professional horizons without sacrificing the support of a stable network. Whether you’re refining advanced OR techniques, mentoring others, or rotating through diverse surgical specialties, you’ll benefit from a framework designed to nurture adaptability, resilience, and career growth. In Michigan, you’ll interact with hospitals committed to excellence, innovation, and patient-first care, while gathering experiences that position you for leadership roles, enhanced certifications, and long-term professional satisfaction.

Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Key responsibilities: Serve as a skilled scrub and circulating nurse in a variety of surgical cases, including general, orthopedics, plastics, and other specialties. Maintain sterile technique from room setup through instrument turnover, perform accurate counts with the team, monitor vital signs intraoperatively, anticipate the surgeon’s needs, manage instrumentation and equipment, assist with anesthesia support as appropriate, support patient positioning, and ensure safe, compliant post-op handoffs. Document perioperative activities with precision, participate in room turnover and time-out protocols, and contribute to post-procedure wound care planning and patient education.
- Professional growth: The OR setting offers abundant opportunities for specialization, CNOR certification preparation, cross-training in additional surgical subspecialties, and involvement in performance improvement initiatives. You’ll collaborate with experienced perioperative leaders, access targeted continuing education, and pursue pathways toward lead or mentor roles as you demonstrate clinical excellence and teamwork.
- Competitive benefits: You’ll receive a robust compensation package with weekly pay ranging from $2,163 to $2,241, reflecting the high value placed on your expertise. A guaranteed 40 hours per week provides stability and predictable income, while a sign-on bonus and housing assistance help minimize relocation friction. Additional extension opportunities allow you to lengthen your engagement if you thrive in the setting and want to deepen your impact. The program also offers a comprehensive suite of professional support services to keep you focused on patient care and career advancement.
- Comprehensive support: Travel assignments are supported by a dedicated, 24/7 peripatetic team that assists with housing, transportation coordination, shift logistics, licensing guidance, and on-call assistance. You’ll never navigate a complex assignment alone; our travel specialists stand by to solve problems and ensure your operational comfort, safety, and job satisfaction at every step.
