Travel Registered Nurse OR Job
Cordillera, CO
Contracted
Edwards Surgery Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal OR nursing role that blends expert patient care with the scenic majesty of Cordillera, Colorado. As an experienced OR Registered Nurse, you’ll join a dedicated perioperative team for a multi-week travel assignment starting January 19, 2026, with guaranteed 36 hours per week. This opportunity delivers competitive weekly compensation ranging from $2,875 to $2,998, reflecting your expertise in the operating room environment. You will impact perioperative outcomes, collaborate with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and circulating staff, and bring precision, compassion, and leadership to every case. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to refine your clinical skills, broaden your professional footprint, and serve diverse patient populations with excellence in one of the most beautiful regions of the country.
Colorado is more than a backdrop; it’s a lifestyle. Cordillera’s mountain village ambiance offers a backdrop of clean air, alpine views, and year-round outdoor possibilities that perfectly complement the demanding pace of advanced perioperative care. In this assignment, you’ll experience the energy of a thriving hospital environment while enjoying access to the state’s renowned landscapes. For nurses who crave variety, there’s also the opportunity to work in additional U.S. locations through the same program, expanding your clinical horizons and enriching your professional portfolio. Beautiful seasons invite morning drives along scenic byways, evenings beneath star-filled skies, and weekend adventures that invigorate the mind and body after the hush of a successful case. The combination of professional challenge and natural beauty makes this role uniquely rewarding for travel nurses seeking balance and purpose.
Location benefits go beyond the scenery. You’ll be part of a system that values high-quality patient outcomes, evidence-based practice, and collaborative teamwork. Cordillera’s community hospital setting provides exposure to diverse surgical specialties, complex cases, and streamlined perioperative workflows that sharpen technical proficiency while reinforcing critical thinking and patient advocacy. The role also opens doors to working in other U.S. sites, where you can build a broad network of mentors, gain exposure to different OR cultures, and learn best practices from top perioperative teams. Comprehensive support is built in: housing assistance to lessen relocation stress, dependable scheduling, and a framework that respects your need for predictable time off while offering new opportunities for extension on successful assignments. Plus, you’ll benefit from a connected travel-support system dedicated to smooth transitions between facilities and procedures.
Role specifics and benefits are designed with your professional growth in mind. As the OR RN, you’ll lead and support perioperative teams through preoperative briefings, scrub and circulate duties, sterile processing, instrument counts, patient positioning, and ensuring patient safety throughout the continuum of care. You’ll monitor anesthesia team communication, provide timely interventions, manage blood products when required, and maintain meticulous documentation to support optimal outcomes. The position emphasizes opportunities for skill expansion—mastery in complex cases, enhanced leadership capabilities, cross-training in specialty niches, and the potential to pursue additional certifications. In addition to salary parity, the role includes a competitive bonus structure, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that allow you to remain with a trusted team as projects evolve. The program prioritizes a robust support network: 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, dedicated travel coordinators to handle logistics, credentialing support, and a safety-first mindset that keeps you confident and cared for from day one to day done.
Company values focus on empowering staff through clear paths for advancement and a genuinely supportive work environment. The organization is committed to recognizing clinical excellence, encouraging continuous education, and fostering a culture where nurses feel valued, heard, and equipped to grow. You’ll find mentors, peers, and leaders who champion your career development, celebrate your successes, and partner with you to set ambitious goals—whether that means stepping into leadership roles, mentoring newer staff, or pursuing specialized perioperative pathways. This is a place where your voice matters, your expertise is leveraged, and your well-being is considered an essential component of the mission to deliver safe, high-quality surgical care.
