Your perioperative expertise will support surgeons across a diverse caseload—from routine repairs to complex reconstructions—ensuring safety, efficiency, and optimal patient outcomes. This assignment isn’t merely a job; it’s a chance to shape healing journeys, mentor colleagues, and sharpen your clinical judgment in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.

You’ll enjoy the appeal of a supportive hospital setting, modern facilities, and a culture that prioritizes professional growth for traveling clinicians.

The role aligns with your schedule and life goals, delivering consistency alongside opportunities to expand your clinical repertoire and leadership capabilities. The Midland base is ideal for clinicians who appreciate a balanced lifestyle, with access to regional amenities, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a welcoming community that reminds you why you chose a career in perioperative nursing.

As an OR RN in this travel assignment, you’ll own a comprehensive set of responsibilities designed to develop mastery in perioperative care. You’ll participate in preoperative assessments, support anesthesia teams, and ensure meticulous sterile technique and instrument handling. You’ll coordinate positioning, monitor patient status intraoperatively, and oversee counts and documentation to prevent errors. You’ll advocate for patient safety, comfort, and dignity while collaborating with surgeons, surgical technologists, and circulating nurses to maintain an efficient, safety-driven environment. The position is designed for growth: you’ll gain exposure to a broad spectrum of specialties, refine your critical-thinking and rapid decision-making under pressure, and position yourself for advanced roles within the OR—whether that means leadership on the floor, specialized certifications, or broader intra-hospital mobility. Benefits are designed to support you holistically, including a competitive compensation package with a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and potential contract extensions that recognize your reliability and impact. You’ll also have access to robust, 24/7 support from the company as you travel, ensuring help is always a call or message away, whether you’re coordinating case requirements, navigating credentialing, or seeking urgent assistance during assignments.
