Join in our mission and work where YOU belong. The Salem Hospital Perioperative Care, Operative Team is an integral part of the nursing division. This Team is inter professional representing expert nurses, surgeons, anesthesiology, and support personal with many of our surgeons and anesthesia team practicing at both Salem and MGH. In addition, this Operative Team offers a wide variety of procedures including Orthopedic, General Surgery, Vascular, GYN, Plastics, Urology, Thoracic, and Spine. Typical case load is 25 – 35 surgical procedures in the operating room. The Operative Team is known for being best in class with outstanding clinical outcomes andcontinues to be aligned with Mass General Brigham to focus on new high-quality, low-cost, innovative community-based ambulatory and inpatient procedural care. The Operating Room is state of the art with a Hybrid OR and a well-developed Robotic Surgical Program with the DaVinci Xi robot for a variety of General Surgery, Urology, and Thoracic Procedures. Additionally, the Robotic Surgical Program has expanded to support Orthopedic hip and knee replacement procedures with the MAKO Stryker Robot. The Operative Team is also responsible for supporting the surgical needs of our busy Trauma Program. There are plans to build a dedicated Robotic OR and two large multipurpose operating rooms. As a member of the team, the Operating Room Registered Nurse (OR RN) is responsible for the patient undergoing an operative or other invasive procedure to ensure the procedure will be safe and quality patient care will be delivered. The OR RN practices collaboratively within a highly skilled inter professional team consisting of other RNs, Surgeons, Anesthesiologists, and Surgical Technologists. The model of care for the Operating Room is one circulator RN per patient undergoing a procedure along with a surgical scrub (either a RN or Surgical Technologist). The RN has a diverse, yet focused, practice. The OR RN has the opportunity to explore and gain expertise in both roles of Circulator and Scrub. In the role of Circulator, the RN supervises and evaluates the activities of other team members while simultaneously executing immediate directives and interventions in elective and urgent or emergent situations. In addition, the OR RN uses the nursing process to coordinate the care of the patient undergoing operative or other invasive procedures. In the role of Scrub Nurse, the RN wears sterile garments, maintains the integrity of the sterile field, and manages the surgical instruments to support the surgeon at the operative field. The competencies of the Operating Room Registered Nurse are aligned with AORN for the roles of Circulator and Scrub. The competencies are inclusive of practicing in the Hybrid OR and the Robotic Surgical programs. Staff work Monday through Friday with a combination of 8, 10 and 12 hour shifts with the majority of staff on days. Start times vary and staff cover weekends, off shift, holidays along with an on-call schedule. We are looking for team members who possess not only the relevant skills and growth potential, but positive attitudes, flexibility, and creative mindsets to join our expanding Operative team. Opportunities exist for team members to contribute both in their primary surgical specialty as well as other procedural areas within the operating room. Our core values are shared fundamental beliefs that guide our decision-making and behavior and bind us together as a team. The Perioperative Team are: - Bravely Human: We approach our work with empathy, vulnerability, and kindness. - Clearly Honest: We seek to provide clarity amongst our teams and patients. - Proudly Collaborative: We are all part of a team - each bringing our unique talents to bear. - Intentionally Consistent: We intentionally live our purpose, providing a cohesive experience for both patients and providers. - Exceptionally Creative: We continue to learn, grow, and iterate on the ways we work. Salem Hospital Perioperative Division has a dedicated Perioperative Nurse Educator to assist with learning the role of the OR RN. The OR RN will learn how to practice fully in the both the Circulator and Scrub roles. The RN will be afforded the opportunity to explore all areas of surgical specialties and to develop a deep concentrated skill set in the surgical procedures that are performed at Salem Hospital.
