Operating room nurse jobs, and hiring Operating room nurses
Operating room roles sit inside hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. Call is part of the job for many of them. A facility should say whether it needs a circulator, a scrub, or both. We do not collect a skills checklist in this version.
Surgical services is grouped with the lower-turnover specialties in the 2026 executive summary. NSI’s five-year cumulative turnover for surgical services was 78.8%.
Across hospitals in the 2026 NSI National Health Care Retention & RN Staffing Report, staff RN turnover was 17.6% and the vacancy rate was 8.6%. Those are national hospital figures from 527 acute care hospitals in 40 states, covering calendar year 2025. They are not a vacancy rate for Operating room in a particular city. Read the report.
Where to look
The first city pages are the metros we are building supply for. Every state has its own licensure and hiring page.
Does this page list Operating room job openings?
No. JobPosting data is reserved for roles a partner actually publishes. This version has none.
Can a hospital see Operating room nurses who want its city?
Yes, as an anonymous count and an anonymous summary, and only if the nurse opted in. There is no fit score on that screen. Names wait for the nurse’s approval.
