OR RN; Registered Nurse in Aberdeen, WA

Job Overview

Capstone Healthcare Staffing is seeking an experienced OR RN (Registered Nurse) to join our team in Aberdeen, WA, supporting a leading healthcare facility within the Healthcare & Medical Services industry. In this role, you will provide comprehensive perioperative nursing care before, during, and after surgical procedures, ensuring safe, high‑quality care for patients in the operating room. Working closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, surgical technologists, and other members of the healthcare team, you will be responsible for patient assessment, preparation, intraoperative monitoring, and post‑anesthesia recovery support in accordance with facility policies and evidence‑based practice.

Capstone offers a supportive environment with opportunities to grow within the healthcare staffing industry, connecting medical professionals to fulfilling career placements that match their skills and goals.

As an OR RN, you will conduct preoperative assessments, verify patient histories, consents, allergies, and required diagnostics, and ensure all needed equipment, instruments, and supplies are available and functioning prior to surgery. You will prepare the operating room, maintain a sterile environment, and follow strict infection prevention and control protocols. During procedures, you will function as a circulating nurse and, when needed, as a scrub nurse—managing instrumentation, handling specimens, documenting intraoperative findings, advocating for the patient, and promptly addressing any changes in patient status.

You will also assist with positioning, prepping, and draping patients, collaborating with the anesthesia team to monitor vital signs and respond to emergent situations.

Postoperatively, you will participate in handoff communication to PACU or recovery staff, reinforce discharge and postoperative instructions, and support pain management and patient comfort. Documentation of all aspects of nursing care, adherence to regulatory and facility standards, and accurate use of electronic medical records are essential components of the role. You will contribute to quality and safety initiatives, participate in performance improvement activities, and support compliance with perioperative best practices.

The ideal candidate is a collaborative, detail‑oriented RN with operating room experience who is comfortable in a fast‑paced, high‑acuity surgical setting. You should be able to anticipate the needs of the surgical team, remain calm under pressure, and communicate clearly with colleagues, patients, and families. Strong critical thinking, time management, and organizational skills are essential, as is a commitment to compassionate, patient‑centered care.

Candidates must hold an active Washington State RN license and current BLS certification; ACLS and PALS are strongly preferred, and CNOR certification is a plus.

This is a full‑time, field/on‑site role in Aberdeen, WA, with competitive pay and the potential for additional compensation through bonuses based on assignment and performance.
