Here, you will work alongside a passionate and dedicated team, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world.

Cleveland Clinic’s General OR team is a dynamic surgical environment that includes GI, Colon, Oncology, Bariatric and Endocrine procedures. Surgeries range from 2 to 12 hours, including complex cases such as colon and intestinal procedures, transplants, Whipple surgeries and oncology interventions. Working in the OR offers a focused, structured approach to patient care, strong teamwork and clearly defined roles, with limited patient contact while patients are under anesthesia. As an integral member of the surgical team, you will assist fellow caregivers in delivering exceptional care from pre-op to recovery, interact with patients and families to enhance their experience and provide education as needed.

Additionally, the Cleveland Clinic system provides nurses with many professional development resources, including furthering education and online/in-person courses to enhance your skills.

A caregiver in this position will have their shifts assigned after orientation. Orientation is Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 3:30pm and is 6 months long.

A caregiver who excels in this role will:  

• Provide nursing care in an operative setting to patients undergoing surgical or invasive procedures.  
• Perform scrub and circulating functions.
