Travel Registered Nurse OR Job

Introduction
Seize a transformative opportunity as a Travel Registered Nurse in the Operating Room, stationed in Austell, Georgia. This is your chance to bring precision, compassion, and leadership to high-stakes surgical environments where every detail matters. You’ll support a broad range of procedures, collaborate with seasoned perioperative teams, and play a pivotal role in patient safety and outcomes—from preoperative assessment through postoperative recovery. The assignment begins on 12/08/2025 and runs for several weeks, offering a dynamic pace, diverse case exposure, and meaningful impact in a community that values excellence. Georgia’s beauty accompanies your professional journey: from the rolling ridges of the North Georgia mountains to the evergreen avenues of metro Atlanta, the state offers scenic escapes, historic charm, and vibrant city life—perfect for unwinding after demanding days in the OR.

Location Benefits
Based in Austell, just outside the energetic heartbeat of Atlanta, you’ll enjoy proximity to top-tier healthcare networks, universities, cultural venues, and outdoor escapes. Austell provides a welcoming base with convenient access to major hospitals, streamlined commuting options, and a supportive community that understands the demands of perioperative care. Living here means you can balance a fast-paced OR schedule with southern hospitality, affordable living, and easy access to dining, entertainment, and family-friendly activities. For the adventurous, traveling across the U.S. is part of the role—our travel program opens doors to a variety of facilities nationwide, offering exposure to different hospital cultures, patient populations, and surgical technologies. You’ll benefit from comprehensive travel coordination, ongoing clinical support, and the opportunity to expand your professional network across states and specialties. While Austell anchors your home base, you’re also empowered to explore other beautiful corners of Georgia and beyond, including nature trails, historic towns, and bustling urban centers, all while continuing to grow as a perioperative professional.
