Travel Registered Nurse Pre Op Job

Seize an extraordinary opportunity as a Registered Nurse specializing in Pre-Operative Care, joining a traveling healthcare team that values precision, compassion, and patient education. Beginning December 22, 2025, you will embark on weeks-long assignments centered in Cumming, Georgia, delivering pre-operative assessment and care that set the stage for safe, seamless surgical experiences. Picture the trust you’ll earn in the moments before anesthesia—conducting thorough histories, confirming medications and allergies, verifying NPO status, and preparing patients with clear explanations and reassurance. In this role you’ll act as the calm, informed canvas that helps patients transition from anxious anticipation to confident readiness. Georgia’s beauty is easy to fall in love with—blue ridges above the mountains in the north, lush farmland, charming small towns, and thriving cities where culture thrives. Beyond the job, you’ll have the chance to explore this state and others as part of a nationwide network that champions travel, discovery, and professional growth.

Location benefits: Cumming sits within easy reach of the urban artistry and diverse dining found in the Atlanta metro area, offering the warmth of a smaller community alongside quick access to big-city amenities. You’ll enjoy a home base that supports work–life balance with outdoor recreation nearby and a low-stress environment ideal for focus at the bedside. For those drawn to broader experiences, there are opportunities to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your clinical exposure, building a diverse skill set, and widening your professional network. This blend of steady local assignment options with the adventure of travel can provide the best of both worlds: meaningful patient connections at home and the excitement of new clinical environments on the road.
