Full Job Description

About the Opportunity

Step into a premier perioperative role at The Orthopedic Hospital Outpatient Surgery Center in Warsaw, Indiana. We are seeking a skilled and adaptable Registered Nurse First Assist (RNFA) to provide advanced surgical assistance and top-tier patient care alongside our elite orthopedic surgical teams.

If you are a dedicated perioperative professional looking for a high-impact role with a robust sign-on bonus, competitive compensation, and excellent student loan support, we want to hear from you.

What We Offer:

$25,000 Sign-On Bonus
Up to $20,000 in Student Loan Repayment
Relocation Assistance
Comprehensive Health Insurance (Medical, Dental, Vision)
401(k) with company matching
Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package

Schedule & Flexibility Details

To ensure a seamless fit for our tight-knit outpatient team, we believe in complete transparency regarding our scheduling structure. This role offers the perfect blend of early-day predictability with dynamic surgical flexing:

Primary Shift: Generally 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Surgical Flexing: Hours will flex based on the daily surgery schedule. Due to caseloads, Tuesdays and Thursdays typically run later.
Volume-Based Flexibility (Downstaffing): Because our center operates with one surgeon per day, your schedule is directly tied to their surgical block time. On days when a surgeon signs out early or when no block time is scheduled (typically a couple of days per month), low-census/downstaffing occurs.
Hours Opportunity: While you are not required to work on downstaffed days, you are always free to float to other departments or sister facilities to pick up hours and maintain your desired schedule if someone else has needs.
