Med-Surg Travel Nursing Jobs

Perioperative nurses and Operating Room (OR) nurses are other terms for medical-surgical nurses. Medical-surgical nurses are in charge of providing care to patients before, during, and after surgical procedures. Surgical nurses help the operating room team during surgery and offer post-operative care to patients. These nurses work in a wide range of contexts outside the hospital ward. Inpatient clinics, HMOs, hospital and regulatory administration, teaching, outpatient or ambulatory care, home health care, nursing homes, and the military are some of the more prevalent job environments. When it comes to finding your next travel nurse opportunity, the Stability Healthcare team has you covered.
