Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in the OR, with an opportunity to deliver exceptional surgical care in Middlebury, Vermont. Picture the difference you can make as you support complex procedures, champion patient safety, and collaborate with top surgeons and anesthesia teams in a fast paced, precision-driven environment. This assignment not only elevates your clinical impact but invites you to savor the distinctive rhythm of Vermont life—quaint town streets, fall foliage that paints the hills in gold and crimson, farmers markets, craft coffee, and an outdoor playground that invites hiking, skiing, and easy weekend escapes. For nurses who crave variety, a pathway across multiple U.S. locations exists, offering rich clinical experiences while you stay connected to a supportive travel community that values your expertise and your well-being.
Middlebury offers a unique blend of high-caliber surgical services and a welcoming community setting. You’ll work in a facility dedicated to patient-centered care, with a culture that emphasizes safety, evidence-based practice, and teamwork. The region’s compact size translates to meaningful interactions with patients and families, a collaborative local network, and opportunities to contribute to initiatives that improve perioperative pathways. Vermont’s beauty—waterfronts, rolling hills, covered bridges, and seasonal recreation—provides a restorative backdrop to demanding shifts, making work-life balance tangible. You’ll enjoy the chance to explore Vermont’s nearby charms, from the Green Mountains to the vibrant cultural life in nearby cities, while also keeping doors open for additional assignments across the country if you choose. The position offers flexible assignment options, enabling you to gain diverse experiences without sacrificing the stability of professional growth and a supportive community behind you.
As a perioperative nurse in this OR role, you’ll bring essential responsibilities to life with clinical excellence and compassionate leadership. You’ll participate in preoperative assessments, instrument handling, and sterile technique, ensuring operating rooms are prepared for rapid, safe starts. You’ll work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and circulating staff to anticipate needs, manage equipment, maintain sterile fields, and optimize patient positioning and safety from anesthesia induction through emergence. Postoperative handoffs will be thorough and collaborative, reinforcing continuity of care. This environment rewards initiative, critical thinking, and meticulous attention to detail, while encouraging ongoing professional growth—whether you’re pursuing specialty certifications, expanding cross-functional skills, or gaining exposure to a wide range of procedures. The program offers a competitive weekly pay range of $2,785 to $2,892, with the certainty of a robust support system that helps you navigate the journey smoothly. Bonuses are available, and housing assistance is provided to ease relocation and daily living logistics. We also offer extension opportunities so you can deepen impact and continuity for patients and teams. While the hours aren’t guaranteed, you’ll find flexibility that suits your rhythm, with a framework designed to honor your experience and professional aspirations. A dedicated travel support team is available around the clock, ready to assist with housing, credentialing, or any on-the-road needs, so you always have a steady hand beside you during your travels.
The company’s values center on empowerment, growth, and a genuinely supportive work culture. We are devoted to advancing careers by providing mentorship, ongoing education, and opportunities to broaden your scope within the surgical suite. Our approach treats nurses as strategic partners in patient outcomes, investing in your development and well-being through comprehensive resources, transparent communication, and a community that respects expert practice.

The environment is built to elevate confidence, foster resilience, and sustain engagement—so you can deliver exceptional care while pursuing personal and professional goals.
