This role invites experienced perioperative professionals to bring precision, compassion, and leadership to the operating room, shaping outcomes for patients and guiding teams through complex procedures. Imagine the impact you can make day after day, from meticulous scrubbing and circulating to enabling seamless patient journeys from pre-op through recovery.

Nebraska isn’t just a place to work—it’s a place to belong, reconnect with nature, and recharge your passion for healing.
Location benefits extend beyond the OR. Scottsbluff sits in a region rich with opportunities to explore the outdoors after shifts, whether you’re hiking scenic bluffs, enjoying river trails, or savoring small-town gatherings that celebrate community. For nurses who love variety, this assignment also presents the possibility to collaborate with facilities across the U.S. on different rotations, expanding your clinical repertoire while maintaining the stability of a trusted base in Nebraska. You’ll benefit from a balanced lifestyle, a reasonable cost of living, and a welcoming community that respects your expertise. And when you’re ready to expand your horizons, the program’s network supports experiences in multiple locations nationwide, delivering diverse case mixes, new mentors, and fresh challenges that accelerate your professional growth.
As an OR RN focused on orthopedics, you’ll play a pivotal role in the patient care continuum. Core responsibilities include preparing and scrubbing for procedures, maintaining sterile technique, assisting surgeons, managing instrumentation, and ensuring patient safety through meticulous positioning and documentation. You’ll monitor Anesthesia Team coordination, contribute to efficient room turnover, and uphold rigorous standards for infection prevention. This position offers a clear path for professional development: gain exposure to a wide range of orthopedic cases, from joint replacements to spine and trauma reconstructions, and refine your skills in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. The role supports ongoing education and cross-training opportunities, enabling you to broaden your expertise in perioperative nursing and pursue certifications that align with your career goals. You’ll also find competitive benefits that reflect your value: a weekly pay range of $2,337-$2,481, guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, and a contract aligned with Weeks, with extension opportunities available. In recognition of your dedication, a sign-on bonus and housing assistance are available to help you settle comfortably, and you’ll appreciate the clarity and consistency of the compensation framework as you plan ahead.
The program emphasizes comprehensive support that travels with you. You won’t navigate complex assignments alone—24/7 support is available from a dedicated team, ensuring you have experts on call for clinical questions, housing needs, credentialing, or any on-the-road contingencies.
