As a Registered Nurse specializing in the operating room, you will play a pivotal role in guiding patients through the surgical journey with precision, compassion, and clinical excellence. Imagine the trust you’ll build with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and the broader care team as you safeguard sterile technique, manage critical equipment, and anticipate needs in high-stakes settings. This opportunity promises not only professional growth but also the chance to make a tangible difference in patients’ lives during every procedure. And when you’re ready to unwind, Oregon’s natural beauty beckons—crystal-blue lakes, forested trails, rugged coastlines, the dramatic Columbia Gorge, and the alpine lofts of the Cascades invite exploration, whether you savor a weekend hike, a riverside picnic, or a sunset at Crater Lake. Hermiston itself offers a welcoming base with small-town charm, thriving agriculture, and easy access to outdoor adventures, while you’ll also have opportunities to work at other facilities across the United States, broadening your clinical experience in diverse environments.

On a typical OR rotation you will contribute as a scrub or circulating nurse, maintaining sterile technique, setting up implants and instruments, tracking counts, and coordinating with surgeons and anesthesia teams.

The role emphasizes collaboration, meticulous documentation, patient advocacy, and ongoing skill development across multiple surgical specialties. Our program offers a competitive weekly pay range of $2,616 to $2,765, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, and a contract duration measured in weeks.
