Ready to Add Cardiac Surgery to Your OR Skill Set?
We’re looking for experienced Operating Room RNs to join a brand-new cardiovascular surgery program on Chicago’s North Shore.
This opportunity is designed for OR nurses who already have experience scrubbing and circulating and are ready to expand into cardiac surgery. Previous CVOR experience is preferred, but not required, you’ll receive 8 weeks of paid, structured CVOR training with dedicated mentorship as you transition into the specialty.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Join a new cardiovascular surgery program from its early stages
  • 8 weeks of paid CVOR training and hands-on mentorship
  • Continue working across multiple surgical specialties in addition to cardiac
  • Full-time 8-hour day shifts
  • Established OR team with strong leadership and a collaborative environment
 
Compensation & Perks
  • $41.00–$60.89/hour, based on experience
  • $20,000 sign-on bonus
  • $13/hour standby pay while on call
  • +$4/hour CV differential after orientation when working cardiac cases
  • $1,000 certification bonus
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Annual merit increases

What You’ll Do
  • Scrub and circulate surgical cases
  • Prepare the OR, instrumentation, supplies, and specialized equipment
  • Provide safe intraoperative nursing care and monitor patients throughout procedures
  • Maintain sterile technique and infection-prevention standards
  • Work closely with surgeons, anesthesia, surgical technologists, and the broader perioperative team
  • Support cardiovascular cases following completion of CVOR training
 
What We’re Looking For
Required:
  • Active RN license
  • Previous Operating Room nursing experience
  • Experience both scrubbing AND circulating surgical cases
Preferred:
  • Previous CVOR or cardiac surgery experience

Interested?
If you’re an experienced OR RN looking to build specialized cardiovascular skills while joining a new program at an exciting stage of growth, we’d love to connect.
