Job DescriptionStep into the surgical suite as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room in Watertown, New York, where your hands guide healing, your judgment shapes outcomes, and your dedication steadies patients through critical moments. In this OR role, you’re more than a caregiver—you’re a vital partner to surgeons, anesthesiologists, and support teams, ensuring precision from the first scrub to the final dressing. Your expertise will reduce risk, optimize workflow, and elevate perioperative care as you support a range of procedures from routine to complex. You’ll experience a fast-paced, technology-driven environment that rewards initiative, meticulous technique, and compassionate patient contact. This is your opportunity to advance your perioperative nursing career within a nationally recognized system, while enjoying the unique beauty and vibrant culture of upstate New York. Beyond the scrubs, New York offers breathtaking landscapes—from the Adirondack peaks and the St. Lawrence River corridor around Watertown to the Finger Lakes wine trails and the Hudson Valley—perfect for weekend explorations, family adventures, and moments of renewal that keep you energized for your professional goals. Watertown, with its welcoming community and regional hub status, blends small-city charm with robust health care resources. The area grants convenient access to outdoor recreation, contemporary amenities, and a supportive network of colleagues who value collaboration and excellence. Working here means enjoying a high-quality work-life balance, while the opportunity to travel across the United States to different facilities expands your clinical versatility and accelerates skill development. The position also positions you to explore a broader network of facilities, giving you exposure to diverse patient populations, case mixes, and perioperative technologies that sharpen your clinical judgment and leadership readiness. And for professionals who relish variety, the program can include assignments in multiple locations within the U.S., enabling you to experience new communities while maintaining the security of a steady schedule and guaranteed hours.

As the OR RN, you’ll provide comprehensive preoperative assessment, scrubbing, instrumentation, patient positioning, and intraoperative monitoring under the direction of surgeons and anesthesia teams. You’ll assist with maintaining sterile technique, accurate counts of instruments and implants, and efficient room turnover to support throughput without compromising safety. Your responsibilities extend to postoperative communication, immediate patient stabilization, and careful documentation to ensure seamless transitions from theatre to recovery. The role offers meaningful pathways for advancement within perioperative nursing, including specialty certifications, leadership training, and expanded responsibilities in technical coordination, quality improvement, and mentor-led onboarding for new staff. The compensation reflects the value of your expertise, with a weekly pay range of $2,559 to $2,806, accompanied by guaranteed 40 hours per week for the duration of the assignment. In addition to competitive pay, you may qualify for a sign-on bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and contract extension opportunities that align with your career trajectory. The program also includes generous extensions, providing continuity for you and your patients as you build confidence in new settings.
