The department boasts cutting-edge technology, a supportive nurse-driven culture, and a magnet designation, making this a rewarding setting for experienced OR nurses who enjoy diverse cases and a collaborative atmosphere. Flexibility to float within scope and accommodate block schedules (pending approval) adds an extra layer of engagement to this unique assignment.

Weather:

Charleston typically enjoys warm, mild weather around this time of year, with plenty of sunshine and gentle breezes. Summers are generally pleasant, encouraging outdoor activities and exploration after work hours.

Fun Things To Do:

  • Historical Walking Tour of Downtown Charleston

Shift: 12-hour days (06:30 AM - 07:00 PM)
Duration: 13 weeks, 36 hours per week
This role requires at least 2 years of OR nursing experience, with scrub experience preferred. The ideal candidate will hold a South Carolina or multi-state/compact RN license, along with BLS certification and a Radiation Badge. Experience in a trauma level 1 facility is strongly preferred. The department operates EPIC for charting, and parking is managed with a $20 permit fee.
