Job DescriptionTake the next bold step in your nursing career as a Registered Nurse specializing in the operating room, with a dynamic travel opportunity in Westwood, New Jersey. This is more than a job—it's a chance to impact patient outcomes, collaborate with top surgical teams, and sharpen your OR skills across a variety of cases. With a start date set for December 1, 2025, this assignment offers weeks-based engagements that adapt to your availability while delivering exceptional care to patients at their most vulnerable moments. If you’re drawn to fast paced environments, complex procedures, and a chance to influence recovery trajectories, this opportunity invites you to grow while you explore and contribute. And for those who relish discovering new places, this role provides the option to experience New Jersey’s rich communities and the broader U.S. landscape as you rotate through different sites. Situated in Bergen County, Westwood blends suburban calm with convenient access to greater New York, offering a balanced lifestyle for healthcare professionals. Westwood and nearby towns boast safe neighborhoods, excellent public services, and a thriving local culture—cafés, farmers markets, outdoor spaces, and a mosaic of restaurants that celebrate diverse flavors. The region’s proximity to iconic urban centers means weekend explorations are easy, whether you’re catching a Broadway show, hiking in nearby parks, or enjoying a coastal drive along the Jersey shore. Beyond New Jersey, this program supports placements across various locations in the U.S., giving you the opportunity to broaden your clinical perspective, learn different hospital cultures, and build a diverse professional network while maintaining the continuity of your core specialty in perioperative care. As an OR Registered Nurse, you’ll be at the heart of surgical teams, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes from the moment you prep the room to the final counts and handoff. Your responsibilities will include preparing patients for anesthesia, scrubbing in and circulating, coordinating with surgeons and anesthesiologists, maintaining sterile technique and instrument integrity, conducting thorough instrument and sponge counts, documenting intraoperative events, and monitoring patient status throughout procedures. You’ll support anesthesia teams, assist with positioning and intraoperative management, and help transition patients to recovery with detailed postoperative notes. This role is ideal for a nurse who thrives on variety—different procedures, different challenges, and opportunities to refine technical skills while reinforcing critical thinking, rapid decision-making, and meticulous documentation. The position provides a pathway for professional growth within the OR specialty, including exposure to multiple surgical services, potential cross-training in specialized suites, and mentorship from experienced perioperative leaders. Your benefits package is designed to be competitive and comprehensive. You’ll enjoy a weekly pay range of $2,141 to $2,318, reflective of your experience and the specifics of each assignment. In addition to robust compensation, the program offers housing assistance to ease relocation logistics and enhance your stay, with extensions available for continued collaboration beyond the initial term. The opportunity to earn a signing bonus or performance-based incentives may be available, depending on location and current program structure. Flexible extension opportunities enable you to tailor your journey to your personal and professional goals, maximizing continuity in environments where you’ve already built rapport with colleagues and patients. You’ll have access to 24/7 support from a dedicated travel coordination team, ensuring seamless travel, housing, credentialing, and on-site assistance wherever you are assigned. The program also encourages continuing education and professional development, with possibilities for specialty certifications, CE credits, and focused skill-building aligned with evolving surgical practices. The company brings a values-driven approach to healthcare staffing, centered on empowering every nurse to advance their career while sustaining a supportive, collaborative workplace. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes patient-centered care and staff well-being, fosters open communication, and recognizes the importance of work-life integration. Leadership is committed to your growth—from onboarding through ongoing mentorship, performance feedback, and opportunities to expand into leadership tracks or teaching roles within the OR team. You’ll work alongside colleagues who share a commitment to excellence, safety, and compassionate care, with a focus on cultivating resilience and professional fulfillment in high-stakes clinical settings. If you’re ready to elevate your OR nursing career, embrace new environments, and contribute to meaningful surgical outcomes, this is your invitation to apply.
