Mid Level
Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel Registered Nurse in the Operating Room, with a specialty focus in the OR in Clearlake, California. This is your opportunity to fuse surgical precision with compassionate care, delivering high-stakes outcomes in a setting that values expertise and teamwork. As an OR RN, you’ll be the linchpin in the perioperative process—scrubbing in, circulating, setting up instrumentation, and collaborating closely with surgeons, anesthesia teams, and postoperative staff. You’ll monitor patient status from pre-op through anesthesia induction, maintain meticulous counts, ensure sterile technique, manage equipment readiness, and contribute to seamless turnover between cases. Your clinical leadership will elevate patient safety, operative efficiency, and the overall quality of care. This assignment invites you to deepen your specialty within a supportive network that champions professional growth, adaptability, and the pursuit of clinical excellence. California’s innovative healthcare landscape offers exposure to a broad range of procedures, from conventional to cutting-edge robotics and minimally invasive techniques, all within a state celebrated for its diverse communities, advanced facilities, and commitment to patient-centered care. And as you settle into Clearlake, you’ll discover a setting that rewards dedicated clinicians with meaningful work and a sense of place that inspires daily.
Location Benefits
Clearlake sits in the heart of California’s scenic North Coast, a region known for outdoor recreation, community warmth, and a slower pace that invites mindfulness between shifts.

The broader state provides vast professional possibilities: you can experience a range of facilities—from intimate community hospitals to larger regional centers—each offering different case mixes, state-of-the-art technology, and collaborative multidisciplinary teams. While this assignment is based in Clearlake, our program also presents opportunities to rotate to other locations across the United States, expanding your professional network, diversifying your clinical experiences, and enriching your resume. You’ll benefit from a flexible travel framework designed to maximize exposure to varied surgical services while protecting your personal and professional well-being.
