Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center - Polson
Mid Level
As a Registered Nurse specializing in the Operating Room, you hold a pivotal role where every incision, every sterile technique, and every careful patient interaction contributes directly to healing and hope. This dedicated OR nursing opportunity places you in Polson, Montana, a community that blends small‑town warmth with access to striking natural beauty. In this environment, your expertise will guide complex procedures, support surgical teams, and elevate patient experiences from pre‑op through post‑op recovery. Polson’s scenic setting—nestled near Flathead Lake and framed by mountains—offers a refreshing backdrop that strengthens the focus you bring to high‑stakes care. If you’re drawn to a role that values meticulous skill, compassionate communication, and continuous growth, this assignment is crafted for you. And for those who relish discovery, the program provides the chance to work in additional U.S. locations over time, broadening your professional horizons while you maintain your home base in an admired Montana community.
Working in Polson means you’ll experience a blend of high‑quality, financially competitive opportunities and a lifestyle that supports wellness outside the hospital doors. The location offers access to outdoor adventures—fishing on calm waters, hiking along scenic trails, skiing in nearby hills—and a community atmosphere where colleagues become connections for life. The hospital system emphasizes work‑life balance, rigorous safety standards, and an environment where your voice informs better patient outcomes. The surrounding region provides a moderate cost of living, strong educational resources, and a network of services designed to keep you energized for the demanding pace of the OR. Should you wish to explore other facets of the country, the program extends to additional locations across the United States, enabling you to experience diverse patient populations, unique case mixes, and new collaborative dynamics—all while maintaining continuity of care with the support of a trusted travel partner.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to advance both your clinical proficiency and your career trajectory. As an OR nurse on this assignment, you will participate in pre‑operative assessments, maintain strict sterile technique, assist during a broad range of surgical procedures, and monitor patients throughout anesthesia emergence. You’ll collaborate closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and circulating staff to anticipate needs, optimize patient safety, and ensure efficient turnover between cases. Your responsibilities include accurate case documentation, adherence to safety protocols, and immediate escalation of concerns to the surgical team. You’ll have opportunities to expand your expertise within the specialty, pursue relevant certifications, mentor junior staff, and participate in quality improvement initiatives that strengthen outcomes hospital‑wide. In terms of compensation and benefits, you’ll enjoy a competitive weekly pay range of $2,394 to $2,603, with the potential for a sign‑on bonus, plus housing assistance to ease transition to a new locale. There are also extension opportunities that allow you to lengthen your assignment if you wish to deepen your familiarity with the unit and the patient population. The program offers comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, a dedicated travel support team, and a clinical liaison who can help you navigate scheduling changes, credentialing, and any on‑the‑road needs that arise.
Start date for this assignment is 01/20/2026, with duration described in weeks, and a careful note that guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0. This means that, while the position is designed to be consistent and reliable, exact hours and weekly totals will be confirmed during the hiring process and adjusted to the unit’s needs and regulatory requirements. The emphasis remains on predictable, patient‑centered care and on giving you a framework that supports both your clinical practice and your personal planning. The program also recognizes that compensation packages may be subject to variation based on shift patterns, hospital policies, and local market conditions, and it commits to transparent communication so you can plan with confidence.
Our company values empower you to grow by providing clear pathways for career advancement and a supportive, collaborative work environment. We invest in your professional development through targeted mentoring, evidence‑based practice resources, and access to continuing education opportunities aligned with OR nursing standards. You’ll be joining an organization that prioritizes your expertise, respects your autonomy, and fosters a culture where feedback is welcomed and your contributions are celebrated. This is more than a temporary assignment; it’s a doorway to long‑term expertise, broader clinical exposure, and a network of colleagues who share your commitment to patient dignity, safety, and surgical excellence.
