Intraoperative patients across surgical services, in circulating and scrub roles.
Intraoperative patients across surgical services, in circulating and scrub roles.
Case-driven rather than ratio-driven. The shift is defined by the board — service line, turnover pressure, and whether the room runs long. Call is a substantial part of most OR roles and is what candidates weigh hardest.
Surgical services covered, circulate vs scrub, robotics experience, and call requirements.
Service-line specificity is everything. An ortho circulator is not automatically a cardiac or neuro circulator, and call burden is the most common reason OR travelers decline extensions.
Answering these in the req itself shortens the process considerably, because they are the questions that otherwise surface at offer stage and cause declines: Service lines, call rotation frequency, robotics, and whether they circulate, scrub or both.
Contract for census swings, leave coverage and seasonal surge. Per diem to protect ratios without expanding core FTE. Permanent when the seat is structural. The expensive mistake is running contract labour for eighteen months on a role that was always permanent.
Registered nursing is covered by the Nurse Licensure Compact in most of the country, so a multistate license lets a nurse work across member states without a new application. Thirteen jurisdictions sit outside it — Alaska, California, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands — and in those markets every out-of-state nurse needs a single-state license first. Those are the markets where reqs stay open longest.
Every candidate is spoken to before you see them, with licensure for your state, certifications and unit-specific competency confirmed before submittal. We screen to the credential the unit actually needs rather than the title on the posting. Rates sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown.
