Circulating RN No Weekends

OR / Circulating Registered Nurse

Career Nation is seeking experienced OR / Circulating Registered Nurses for multiple contract opportunities at ambulatory surgery centers in Austin, TX.

Rather than requiring every nurse to fit one rigid schedule or surgical specialty, we are looking to match qualified RNs with the assignment and case mix that best fits their experience.

Choose a 3- or 4-day workweek, with daytime schedules and no overnight shifts. Depending on experience and availability, nurses may be matched with cases in their preferred surgical specialties.

Available specialties include:

• Orthopedics / Sports Medicine
• Orthopedic Joint Procedures
• ENT / Otolaryngology
• Arthroscopy
• Urology
• Robotics
• Plastics
• General and other ambulatory surgical specialties

We'll discuss your preferred schedule, specialties and availability during the screening process.

Responsibilities may include:

• Provide circulating nursing care during surgical procedures
• Complete preoperative patient verification and surgical safety checks
• Prepare the operating room and ensure necessary equipment and supplies are available
• Assist with safe patient positioning and surgical preparation
• Maintain awareness of the sterile field and proper OR practices
• Advocate for patient safety throughout the intraoperative period
• Coordinate communication among surgeons, anesthesia providers and surgical staff
• Complete accurate intraoperative documentation
• Participate in procedural time-outs and surgical counts
• Support efficient room turnover and case flow
• Follow facility infection-control, patient-safety and clinical protocols

Qualifications include:

• Active RN license applicable to practice in Texas
• Previous Operating Room / Circulating RN experience
• Experience in at least one of the listed surgical specialties strongly preferred
• Comfortable working in an ambulatory surgery environment
• Strong communication, organization and patient-safety skills
• Ability to commit to the agreed contract schedule

This is a great fit for an experienced OR nurse who wants contract-level hourly compensation without a traditional five-day hospital schedule.
