This position is for the Periop 101 program, a 9-month program for nurses combining Association of peri-Operative Registered Nurses (AORN) approved online didactic learning with clinical skills labs and experiences in the Operating Room. It is a Full-time, benefited position.

The Main OR operates 26 operating room suites and is dedicated to providing care for adult and pediatric patients (Thoracic, General, GYN, urology, Plastics, ENT, Eyes, Orthopedics, Cardiac, Vascular, Neuro and Transplant), to include trauma. Typical schedule is 10 hour shifts to include call for Holidays (Note the first 8 weeks will be 8 hour days).

Upon successful completion of the didactic portion of training, the nurse is paired with a mentor in the circulating role for a designated period of time.
