University of Vermont Medical Center- UVMMC
Mid Level
Step into an inspiring opportunity as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room (OR) with a premier health system in Burlington, Vermont. This role invites you to align your technical skill, compassionate care, and meticulous attention to detail with a team that believes every procedure is a pathway to healing. As you step into the OR, you’ll play a pivotal part in patient journeys—from pre-op coordination to post-anesthesia handoffs—ensuring safety, efficiency, and exceptional outcomes. Picture the satisfaction of contributing to complex cases, collaborating with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and support staff, and continually expanding your perioperative knowledge in a fast-paced, outcome-driven environment. And when you’re ready to explore new horizons, the opportunity to work across multiple U.S. locations in our traveling program can broaden your professional perspective and deepen your clinical confidence, all while maintaining the same high standards of patient care.
Vermont’s alluring landscapes and Burlington’s vibrant environment offer a uniquely enriching backdrop for your nursing career. Nestled between the Green Mountains and Lake Champlain, Burlington blends outdoor adventure with a thriving arts scene, renowned restaurants, and a welcoming community. In your downtime, you’ll have the chance to hike scenic trails, enjoy fall foliage that turns Vermont’s hillsides into living art, sample local foods, and reconnect with nature after demanding shifts. The beauty of the state is matched by the convenience of a modern city with a strong healthcare network, ensuring you have access to excellent patient care resources, supportive colleagues, and a balanced lifestyle that fosters long-term growth and well-being.
Location benefits extend beyond the charming Burlington setting. You’ll have the option to participate in assignments across diverse U.S. locations through our traveling program, providing exposure to a variety of surgical teams, hospital cultures, and case mixes. This flexibility allows you to broaden your clinical repertoire—from ortho and general surgery to specialty subspecialties—while maintaining the security of comprehensive support and consistent standards of care. Our program emphasizes the advantages of working in a well-regarded Northeast market and the broader opportunities available in a nationwide network, including access to advanced OR technologies, mentorship from seasoned perioperative teams, and a supportive framework designed to help you thrive wherever you work. And while you travel, you’ll benefit from 24/7 support from our dedicated team, ensuring you always have real-time assistance, resources, and guidance at your fingertips.
In this OR RN role, you’ll own a range of responsibilities essential to safe, efficient perioperative care. Duties include coordinating sterile technique, setting up and verifying surgical instruments and implants, assisting with patient positioning, monitoring vital signs, and communicating clearly with surgical teams to anticipate needs and prevent complications. You’ll participate in case preparation, room turnover, and accurate documentation, while upholding rigorous patient safety standards and infection control protocols. This position is an ideal path for professional growth within perioperative nursing, offering opportunities to deepen expertise in scrub and circulating responsibilities, enhance critical thinking under pressure, and pursue certifications or advanced practice pathways as you evolve. You’ll be supported by a robust orientation program, ongoing education, and a culture that values curiosity, continuous improvement, and compassionate patient advocacy. The role emphasizes collaboration, attention to detail, and resilience—qualities that define exceptional OR nursing.
Compensation and benefits are designed to be competitive and reflective of your skills and commitment. The travel assignment offers a weekly pay range of $2,886 to $3,167, with flexible duration per assignment, and a structured path toward possible extension opportunities. A signing bonus may be available, along with housing assistance to ease relocation and lodging concerns. Our program is built to recognize and reward your contributions, with extension opportunities that let you deepen relationships with the local teams and make a lasting impact on patient care. You’ll also gain access to comprehensive support resources, including 24/7 travel assistance, a dedicated clinical liaison, and access to continuing education, all aimed at helping you deliver outstanding outcomes while maintaining work-life balance.
Our company values empower you to grow, advance, and succeed. We’re dedicated to fostering a supportive work environment where your clinical voice is heard, your professional development is prioritized, and your career trajectory is clear. We champion mentorship, ongoing training, and clear pathways to leadership roles within perioperative services, so you can build a meaningful, long-term career with a trusted partner. You’re more than a clinician; you’re a valued member of a community that respects your expertise, your goals, and your well-being. We strive to create a culture of respect, collaboration, and excellence where your talents elevate patient care and drive positive health outcomes.
