Burlington, VT
Contracted
University of Vermont Medical Center- UVMMC
Mid Level
Open the door to transformative perioperative care as a Travel Registered Nurse specializing in the Operating Room. In Burlington, Vermont, you will join a team that values precision, teamwork, and patient dignity at the center of every procedure. From the moment the case begins to the final recovery steps, your expertise will help surgeons translate complex plans into safer, faster outcomes. This role is designed for adaptable, detail-oriented professionals who thrive under pressure and who believe that every incision tells a story of skilled hands and compassionate care. Beginning 01/12/2026, you can embark on a rigorous, rewarding assignment that challenges you to stretch your clinical knowledge while making a tangible difference in people’s lives. If you imagine operating rooms where collaboration flows as smoothly as the respect you earn from patients, this opportunity is crafted for you.
Separately, Vermont’s picturesque landscapes invite rest and renewal outside the schedule. Burlington’s lakefront sunsets, the nearby Green Mountains, and a community rooted in crafts, farm-to-table cuisine, and a robust outdoor culture create a backdrop where work-life balance can flourish. In this state, time outdoors and the opportunity to explore seasonal beauty are woven into the fabric of daily life, making it easier to recharge between high-stakes cases.
Location benefits extend beyond the immediate placement. Burlington offers a compact, walkable downtown, strong community health networks, and a supportive medical ecosystem that values continuity of care. The role also affords the flexibility of assignments across select U.S. locations, enabling you to experience diverse hospitals, patient populations, and perioperative workflows. Whether you’re drawn to urban centers or quieter regional facilities, you’ll partner with programs that emphasize safety, evidence-based practice, and professional growth. The chance to rotate through different OR environments can deepen your clinical judgment, sharpen your adaptability, and broaden your professional network.
Role specifics and benefits: In the OR, you’ll lead sterile techniques, assist with anesthesia teams, manage instrument counts, and ensure adherence to regulatory standards, while maintaining patient advocacy from admission through discharge. You’ll collaborate with surgeons, nurses, and support staff to orchestrate efficient cases, anticipate needs, and minimize perioperative risk. You’ll have opportunities to deepen expertise in specialty suites, advanced monitoring, and minimally invasive techniques, with pathways to certification or credentialing support. Competitive compensation supports your dedication: weekly pay in the range of $2,977 to $3,056, with a potential for performance-based bonuses and stipends. Housing assistance is available, and contract extensions offer continuity for professional development and team integration. You’ll benefit from extensive support including 24/7 assistance from a dedicated clinical liaison while you travel, plus access to credentialing, orientation, and ongoing professional mentorship. The structure is designed to accommodate a spectrum of durations and shift patterns, with clear expectations and generous opportunities for skill expansion within the OR and broader perioperative services.
Company values: Our organization is built to empower staff, recognizing that every nurse is a leader in patient safety and quality improvement. We invest in career advancement through targeted training, leadership development, and a culture that welcomes questions, collaboration, and forthright feedback. The environment is supportive, inclusive, and focused on well-being, with resources to help you achieve your professional goals while sustaining a balanced life on the road.
Ready to apply? This is your chance to join a company that honors your expertise and invests in your ongoing growth. If you are a proactive RN with OR experience, a passion for teamwork, and a desire to serve diverse patient populations, we want to hear from you. Please note: hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process. Begin your travel nursing journey in Burlington, Vermont, bringing skilled perioperative care to the OR while exploring a state famed for its scenery and a welcoming, resilient community. Start 01/12/2026 and set your course for meaningful impact, professional development, and lasting connections.
