Travel Registered Nurse OR Job
Clearlake, CA
Contracted
Adventist Health- Clear Lake
Mid Level
Step into an impactful role as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room, where your precision, leadership, and compassion will guide every intricate procedure from start to finish. This travel assignment in California’s Clearlake region invites you to apply surgical expertise, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and elevate patient outcomes in a setting that blends clinical excellence with the natural beauty of one of the state’s most inviting landscapes. Begin this journey on 03/30/2026, with a contract spanning several weeks and a weekly pay range of $2,371 to $2,480, reflecting your valuable skills and dedication. While the schedule is designed to deliver meaningful, hands-on work, flexibility remains a core part of the experience, with opportunities for extension based on performance, unit needs, and your professional goals. This is more than a job—it’s a pathway to growing as a perioperative clinician while making a lasting difference in the lives of patients and families.
California’s beauty is unmatched, and separate from the hospital walls you’ll navigate, the state offers a tapestry of experiences. Clearlake sits among rolling hills, misty mornings, and lakefront vistas that invite outdoor adventures, from fishing and boating to hiking among scenic trails. Weekend explorations can include nearby redwood groves, regional wineries, and days spent basking in mild coastal breezes. The region also serves as a gateway to broader statewide wonders—from the Sierra Nevada’s alpine escapes to artful communities along the coast. This environment not only refreshes you between shifts but also enriches your professional perspective as you encounter diverse cases and stellar teams throughout California and beyond.
Location benefits go beyond Clearlake’s serene charm. Working here means you’ll contribute to a tight-knit community hospital environment that values patient safety, teamwork, and continuous learning. You also gain the flexibility that comes with travel nursing: a chance to experience different facilities, diverse patient populations, and varied OR cultures while still enjoying the stability of a structured contract. For nurses who crave variety without sacrificing quality of care, this role offers a balanced blend of intimate patient contact and access to a broad network of facilities in the U.S., enabling you to broaden your clinical repertoire, refine your technique, and expand your professional credentials. In Clearlake and surrounding regions, you’ll enjoy a supportive infrastructure that helps you stay at the top of your game—quietly confident in a well-coordinated schedule, 24/7 company support, and resources designed to reduce stress and maximize patient outcomes.
Role specifics and benefits come together to empower your growth as an OR RN. Core responsibilities include preoperative assessment and optimization, aseptic technique, instrument handling, case preparation and turnover, collation of accurate intraoperative documentation, and vigilant patient advocacy before, during, and after anesthesia. You’ll work closely with surgeons, anesthesia providers, circulating nurses, and scrub teams to ensure patient safety, sterile processing accuracy, and efficient room throughput. Your clinical judgment will guide mask and timeout protocols, equipment readiness, and contingency planning for unexpected events, all while maintaining a calm, focused presence that inspires confidence in the team and in patients. The position offers pathways for professional development within perioperative nursing, including exposure to specialized procedures, potential cross-training in adjacent units, and opportunities to mentor junior staff as you gain seniority. In addition to the clinical scope, the contract includes a robust benefits package that features a competitive pay rate, a sign-on bonus where applicable, and housing assistance to ease transitional logistics. Extended assignments and extension opportunities are available if you and the facility align on ongoing needs and your evolving ambitions. You’ll also receive comprehensive support from our travel program: 24/7 assistance, access to scheduling specialists, and a responsive care team ready to address issues as they arise, ensuring you always have a trusted partner alongside you on the road.
Our company values you as more than a clinician; we see you as a professional with a voice in shaping care delivery. The commitment is to empower your career, invest in your growth, and maintain a positive, collaborative environment where your contributions are recognized and your professional development is a priority. You’ll have access to ongoing education resources, competency-based advancement opportunities, and a network of like-minded perioperative colleagues who share best practices, celebrate successes, and support each step of your journey. In this culture, your expertise matters, your safety matters, and your work-life balance matters—because sustained excellence in the OR hinges on a team that supports each other.
If you’re ready to apply, seize this exciting opportunity to join a company that values your contribution and is devoted to your professional advancement. This assignment is designed to elevate your perioperative care capabilities while you explore California’s opportunities and expand your horizons across the U.S. as needed. Start date 03/30/2026, duration defined by weeks, with weekly pay in the stated range and flexible extension options to continue doing what you do best: delivering precision, compassion, and exceptional patient outcomes.
