Operating Room Registered Nurse Qualifications

Operating room nurses work in a fast-paced environment, working with patients, their families and other members of the healthcare team simultaneously. When you have a job as a travel nurse, you will encounter new hospitals with different technologies and forms of communication. This is why we ask that you have the following qualifications when applying to be an operating room nurse:

  • One to two years of field experience in the operating room

  • An active license or accreditation in one of the 50 states

  • Willingness to follow additional requirements or receive certifications as needed to work in a specific facility or unit

  • A commitment to helping others while exploring new locations

Operating Room RN Duties and Responsibilities

Travel OR RNs usually have several tasks on their plate at once, often exceeding the to-do list of other nursing fields. At the root of the job, these vital nurses are responsible for patient care before, during and after an operation. Some operating room nurse duties may include:

  • Working alongside other circulating nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists and surgical technologists

  • Storing and updating patient files safely

  • Administering medications properly

  • Preparing operation instruments

  • Educating patients on their operations and aftercare

The only difference in an operating room travel nurse job is your location. This ever-changing job environment allows you to meet and work with new people around the nation and learn new ways of doing things.
