Canadian OR RNs, matched with US hospitals hiring under TN status.
Cancelled surgical blocks cost US hospitals millions in daily revenue. A single unfilled OR seat can shut down an entire surgical schedule for the day, which is why hospitals recruit internationally for this role specifically.
OR nursing is also specialty-specific by nature, so hospitals with a gap in, say, cardiac or orthopedic surgery are often willing to move fast on a Canadian RN with matching case experience.
CNOR certification (through CCI) is respected, though not always mandatory. Specific surgical specialty experience (orthopedic, cardiac, general surgery, etc.) matters most for matching you to the right opening.
If you're currently practicing in the OR or perioperative care, tell us your specialty (cardiac, ortho, general, etc.) and scrub vs. circulating experience so we can match you precisely.
Fill OR vacancies with credentialed Canadian RNs before cancelled blocks cost you more revenue, matched to your surgical specialty.
Yes, ideally, since most US OR postings are specialty-specific, such as orthopedic, cardiac, or general surgery.
Both are in demand. Tell us which you're more experienced in so we match accordingly.
