Ardent Health Services Lovelace Regional Hospital - Roswell
Mid Level
Step into a dynamic and rewarding travel nursing opportunity as an OR Registered Nurse in Roswell, New Mexico, with a start date of 04/13/2026. This is your chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of patients during a critical phase of their care, while expanding your expertise in the fast-paced environment of the operating room. As you scrub in and circulate on a wide range of procedures, you’ll sharpen your clinical judgment, teamwork, and leadership skills, all while enjoying the adventure of travel and the chance to explore a diverse and vibrant Southwest region. You’ll be joining a team that values precision, compassion, and continual learning, where every scrubbed in minute builds toward a stronger, more capable you. And beyond the OR, consider the beauty of New Mexico—the glow of desert sunsets, the majesty of starry nights, and the chance to visit some of the state’s most iconic spaces during your downtime.
Roswell offers a unique blend of community warmth and access to outdoor adventures, alongside a professional setting where OR nurses can grow their scope and impact. The city sits in a landscape filled with striking desert scenery, easy access to national parks, and a climate that invites outdoor exploration year-round. When you’re not in the OR, you’ll discover a range of experiences—from local cultural festivals to nearby natural wonders—that make Roswell a memorable home base. If you’re drawn to exploring more of the U.S., our placements provide flexible opportunities to work in various locations across the country, enriching your resume and broadening your professional network while you travel.
In this role, you’ll take on key responsibilities that are central to high-quality perioperative care. As an OR RN, you’ll assist surgeons, maintain sterile technique, manage patient safety before, during, and after procedures, and collaborate with anesthesiology and support staff to ensure smooth case flow. Your duties may include patient prepping and positioning, instrument handling, monitoring and responding to patient status changes, and meticulous documentation. You’ll have the chance to specialize, learn new techniques, and participate in process improvements that enhance efficiency and patient outcomes. With the breadth of cases you’ll encounter in a travel role, you’ll gain exposure to diverse surgical disciplines, honing your critical thinking, prioritization, and teamwork. We support your growth with access to continuing education, cross-training opportunities, and mentorship from experienced perioperative professionals.
This opportunity comes with competitive compensation and comprehensive support designed for traveling healthcare professionals. In addition to a weekly pay rate within the stated range of $1,858-$1,977, you’ll have access to a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that allow you to deepen your expertise and extend your contract when you’re thriving in the role. You’ll benefit from 24/7 support while you’re traveling with the company, including travel coordinators, clinical specialists, and a dedicated on-call team who can help you navigate any challenge, from scheduling to credentialing questions or urgent needs during your assignment. The environment is fast-paced but supportive, with resources in place to help you maintain work-life balance while you pursue your professional goals.
Our approach centers on empowering staff to advance their careers within a nurturing, collaborative culture. The company is committed to helping you grow—from skill development in the OR to leadership opportunities that recognize your contributions and potential. You’ll join a community that believes in honoring each nurse’s expertise, providing constructive feedback, and building a supportive network that helps you reach your next professional milestone. You’ll also find a work environment that recognizes your dedication, values your input, and promotes a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement.
If you’re ready to elevate your perioperative nursing practice while exploring an inviting corner of the country, this is your moment. Apply today to embark on a fulfilling journey that blends clinical excellence with personal growth and adventure. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to contribute meaningfully, learn relentlessly, and shape the future of surgical care in a setting that respects your skills and your aspirations.
