Adventist Health Lodi Memorial
Mid Level
Step into a high-impact CVOR RN opportunity in sunny California, where precision meets compassion in the heart of Lodi. As a travel-friendly Registered Nurse specializing in cardiovascular operating room services, you will partner with surgeons, perfusionists, and nursing teams to guide patients through complex cardiovascular procedures with steadiness and skill. This weeks-long assignment begins on 12/29/2025 and offers an immersive, advancement-focused experience that blends hands-on clinical excellence with the growth you expect from a dedicated specialty program. Beyond the OR walls, California reveals its own beauty—golden sunsets over the vineyard hills of Lodi, the Sierra foothills within reach for weekend adventures, and a coastline that invites exploration after your shifts. Picture yourself contributing to life-changing surgeries while discovering a state celebrated for innovation, culture, and breathtaking landscapes, making each milestone in your career feel meaningful and memorable.
Location benefits go beyond the OR. Lodi provides a warm, community-first environment with easy access to California’s diverse experiences—from tasting rooms and farmers markets to pristine nature trails. The surrounding Central Valley region blends agricultural heritage with modern amenities, offering excellent dining, schooling, and family-friendly activities. For the adventurous, California’s vast geography means the possibility of additional placements in other regions, giving you the chance to broaden your professional repertoire while exploring new communities. You’ll work in a setting that values work-life balance, with opportunities to unwind in nearby wine country, lakes, and parks. And because this role may extend or relocate within the system, you’ll enjoy continuity with a trusted support network, ensuring you always have a dependable home base wherever your assignments take you. The job is designed to be flexible and rewarding, aligning with your personal and professional goals.

You’ll collaborate closely with anesthesia providers, perfusion teams, and nursing leadership to optimize patient outcomes, accuracy in documentation, and seamless transitions of care. This role offers opportunities to expand proficiency in advanced CVOR technologies and assist in evolving best practices within a high-performing unit.
- Professional growth: The assignment emphasizes ongoing learning, mentorship, and cross-training within cardiovascular specialties.

This means ongoing access to clinical leadership, travel coordination, housing partners, and on-call support to address any clinical or logistical questions that arise—so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care. Note that guaranteed hours are not promised for this travel assignment (0.0 guaranteed hours); scheduling is based on patient volume and unit needs, with the potential for longer-term renewal if both you and the facility agree.
- Additional perks: The program emphasizes a holistic approach to well-being and career satisfaction, offering housing assistance, potential relocation stipends, and discretionary bonuses tied to performance, tenure, or program milestones. You’ll also benefit from a supportive culture that prioritizes teamwork, recognition, and the professional voice of clinicians in shaping patient care pathways.
