O.R. NURSE:
"A highly motivated, skilled and trained surgical professional who is responsible for almost everything in the O.R., but has control of virtually nothing. This professional works long hours under stressful situations, typically takes call, is unappreciated by some and mostly anonymous to the patients that they serve. O.R. Nurses are mammals who can be easily identified roaming in small packs at AORN conventions carrying plastic bags full of advertising trinkets."
WARNING: O.R. Nurses are generally amiable, but have been known to become fiercely agressive and dangerous when provoked.
Who you are...
Whether you are a prospective client institution or a prospective candidate, the most compelling reason to use our firm over other recruiting agencies is best described by your words, not ours. AORN (Association of Operating Room Nurses), CNOR (Certified Nurse Operating Room), ASC (Ambulatory Surgery Center), PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit), CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists), PRN, JCAHO (Joint Commission of Accredited Hospital Organization), AAA (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare), CVOR (Cardiovascular Operating Room) , Director of Perioperative Services, Director of Surgical Services, Surgical Nurse Manager, Circulating R.N., Scrub Nurse, Preoperative Nurse, Postoperative Nurse … are acronyms and nomenclature that you know, use and understand. Fortunately, unlike most other recruiting agencies, we understand the acronyms and the required professionalism and processes behind the words.
It’s About The Spirit!
Making the commitment to become an operating room nurse, team leader, charge nurse, CRNA or RN First Assist is not attempted by many. The personal drive and SPIRIT to become a surgical professional is what ensures quality patient care.
We’ve Got The Spirit!
25 YEARS: The principal of MedSurg Professionals has been in the Healthcare industry for over 26 years, much of which was in the operating room environment. We understand what it takes to be a professional surgical nurse, and we use that same level of professionalism, intensity and SPIRIT to match qualified surgical nurse candidates to progressive Health Care Institutions.
