University of Vermont Medical Center- UVMMC
Mid Level
Step into a transformative opportunity as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room in Burlington, Vermont, where precision, teamwork, and patient advocacy come together to shape lives every day. This assignment begins on 03/23/2026 and offers a pathway to deepen your OR skills across a range of procedures, from routine instrument setup to complex orthopedic, neurosurgical, and vascular cases. Picture yourself supporting surgeons, safeguarding patient safety, and coordinating with the broader perioperative team while enjoying the satisfaction that comes from delivering high-quality care in a community that values nurses as essential leaders of the operating room.
Vermont's Burlington region offers a compelling blend of professional opportunity and outdoor vitality. In this city by the lake, you’ll practice in a state renowned for strong healthcare networks, patient-centered outcomes, and a culture that respects your expertise and voice. When you’re away from the OR, you can hike the nearby Green Mountains, explore biking along the waterfront, enjoy seasonal festivals, and savor craft beverages and farm-to-table dining that define the region. The area invites you to recharge in nature, while staying connected to a thriving professional community. For those who relish exploration, the program also presents the chance to work in multiple U.S. locations over time, expanding your clinical horizons and cross-pollinating ideas across diverse hospital environments, all while maintaining a focus on safety, quality, and compassionate care.
In the OR, your primary responsibilities include preparing the sterile field, ensuring equipment readiness, maintaining aseptic technique, and assisting surgeons and the team with instrument handling and counts. You’ll monitor patient status, coordinate with anesthesia, and help drive efficient case flow while always prioritizing patient safety and comfort. The role provides substantial opportunities for professional development: proficiency in a range of surgical specialties, potential subspecialty orientation, and pathways toward leadership, education, or perioperative nursing roles. This assignment features competitive weekly pay, between $2,872 and $3,131, reflecting your expertise and the demand for skilled OR nurses. You’ll have access to a signing bonus and housing assistance, along with extension opportunities that allow you to extend your assignment to match your personal and professional goals. A hallmark of our program is 24/7 support from a dedicated traveling healthcare team, ensuring you have immediate access to guidance, resources, and crisis management wherever your assignments take you. The structure is designed to be flexible, supporting both seasoned traveling nurses and those seeking to broaden their horizons through varied clinical settings while maintaining continuity of care and professional satisfaction. Note that guaranteed hours are currently set to 0.0, with scheduling built to optimize caseloads and staffing needs while respecting work-life balance whenever possible.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to empowering you. We invest in your career advancement through mentorship, continuous education, evidence-based practice, and a collaborative network that spans hospitals and specialties across the country. You’ll find a supportive environment that values your judgment, respects your experience, and provides the resources you need to grow as a clinician, leader, and mentor to others. Our culture emphasizes safety, kindness, and integrity, ensuring your contributions elevate patient care and elevate the teams you join. We champion your professional development through dedicated clinical educators, structured onboarding, and ongoing opportunities to diversify your perioperative repertoire, from acute cases to advanced technology integration and quality improvement initiatives.
If you’re ready to bring your OR skills to a state that blends tradition with innovation while building a national footprint in perioperative nursing, apply now. This is your opportunity to join a team that recognizes your expertise, accelerates your development, and supports you every step of the journey as you care for patients in Burlington and beyond. Embark on a journey that honors your commitment to excellence, expands your clinical influence, and offers a welcoming, forward-looking environment where your voice helps shape the future of surgical care.
Note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
