Description:

Lead Excellence in Surgical Care Without Leaving the OR


Are you an experienced perioperative nurse ready to take the next step in your career? Join our team as an OR Service Line Coordinator (RN), where you'll serve as the clinical and operational expert for a specialized surgical service line. In this highly visible role, you'll partner with surgeons, anesthesia providers, nursing teams, and operational leaders to ensure every procedure is set up for success.


This is more than an OR nursing role. You'll help drive surgical readiness, optimize workflows, coordinate equipment and supplies, support quality initiatives, and enhance the patient and provider experience while continuing to utilize your clinical expertise in the operating room.


What You'll Do

  • Serve as the clinical and operational lead for an assigned surgical specialty.
  • Coordinate readiness for surgical cases, including equipment, instrumentation, implants, and supplies.
  • Function independently in perioperative nursing roles, including scrubbing and circulating.
  • Collaborate with surgeons, anesthesia teams, and perioperative staff to support efficient, high-quality care.
  • Maintain preference cards and support service line standardization and optimization.
  • Participate in performance improvement, education, and best-practice initiatives.


What We're Looking For

  • Current Iowa RN license (or ability to obtain).
  • Minimum of two years of perioperative or related clinical experience.
  • Graduate of an accredited school of nursing.
  • Bachelor's degree required within five years of hire/transfer.
  • BLS certification required.
  • Specialty certification and service line expertise preferred.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Why Join Us?

✅ Advanced nursing role with leadership influence and no direct reports
✅ Opportunity to shape and grow a surgical specialty program
✅ Collaborate with highly skilled surgeons and interdisciplinary teams
✅ Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits
✅ Professional development and certification support
✅ Mission-driven culture committed to exceptional patient care


Take Your OR Career Further

If you're a collaborative, clinically strong perioperative nurse who enjoys improving processes, building relationships, and driving surgical excellence, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help shape the future of surgical care.
