Job DescriptionEmbark on a transformative journey as a Registered Nurse - OR Specialist in Chico, California, where your skill and compassion meet opportunity, impact, and growth. In this role, you will be integral to the surgical team, guiding patients through the perioperative continuum with precision, empathy, and unwavering care. Imagine contributing to life-changing procedures in a region renowned for its natural beauty, vibrant communities, and a welcoming, innovative healthcare landscape. Chico’s tree-lined streets, the foothills framing the city, and easy access to outdoor adventures offer a rare backdrop for professional fulfillment and personal well-being. This is not just a job; it’s a path to elevate your practice while enjoying the rich experiences of California living. Location benefits extend beyond a single city. While you’ll spend meaningful time in Chico, the program also provides the flexibility to work across diverse locations in the U.S., broadening your clinical exposure and cultural perspectives. In Chico, you’ll enjoy a close-knit hospital environment with a strong sense of community, modern surgical suites, and opportunities to collaborate with experienced surgeons and anesthesia teams. California’s climate, culinary diversity, top-tier universities, and abundant recreational options — from hiking in the Butte Creek Canyon to boating on nearby lakes — create an environment where you can recharge after demanding shifts and return to the OR ready to perform at your best. The proximity to weekend escapes in the Sierra Nevada and Bay Area offers the chance to blend professional dedication with personal exploration, making every assignment more than a duty, but a curated experience. Role specifics and growth opportunities. As an OR RN, you will be at the center of patient safety and surgical excellence. Core responsibilities include preparing the OR and equipment, maintaining a sterile field, circulating and assisting during procedures, ensuring accurate procedural counts, monitoring vital signs, and responding to intraoperative changes with composure and decisive action. You will collaborate closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and scrub personnel to anticipate needs, document care accurately, and implement evidence-based practices that optimize outcomes. You’ll support patients through preoperative assessments, maintain meticulous documentation, and coordinate transitions to the post-anesthesia care unit with sensitivity to pain management, mobility, and recovery goals. This role offers a structured pathway to deepen perioperative competencies, pursue specialty certifications, and expand capabilities across anesthesia modalities, robotic-assisted procedures, and complex reconstruction or high-acuity cases. With a strong emphasis on mentorship and continuing education, you’ll have access to formal training, simulation labs, and cross-training opportunities that align with your career aspirations. The position features highly competitive benefits designed to support you. Expect a robust weekly compensation range of $2,855 to $3,061, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week, ensuring stability even as you embrace new challenges. In addition, you’ll have access to a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to help simplify relocation or temporary housing logistics, and the potential for contract extensions to extend your impact and earnings. You’ll join a team that provides 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you never face a tricky situation alone and that resources are always at your fingertips, no matter the hour. The role emphasizes a collaborative culture where your insights inform patient care and where you’re encouraged to propose practice improvements, share evidence-based strategies, and contribute to unit protocols that elevate perioperative safety and efficiency. Company values and support. The organization is committed to empowering its staff, prioritizing career advancement, and fostering a supportive work environment where diverse experiences are valued.
