We are looking for an RN circulator for a 13-week contract. We are a small rural hospital with 7 Ors that include a c-section suite and an endovascular suite. We do about 1-2 c-sections per week, about 6 endovascular cases per week and we also do 20-25 cataracts per week. Along with your regular service lines:

General

Urology

ENT

Podiatry

Gyne

Ortho (do ortho about 4 days per week)

You would work M-F and take call a couple nights a week and every 4th or 5th weekend. We chart some in Cerner but most of our charting is still paper. We will be going live with Epic in November. We are a fast paced OR that starts surgery at 0730 and runs until about 1530 daily. We are hiring a traveler to help us get these cases completed in a timely manner and help cover our call schedule. You can expect to get your breaks, but you will be in a room for the better part of your shift. If you have big cases, you will come in about 6:15 or 0630…..otherwise everyone comes in at 0700. You must be flexible and willing to stay past your shift if cases are still going and the call team is already in a room!!
