What certifications do travel OR jobs require?
Most travel OR positions require Basic Life Support (BLS), and many hospitals also require Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). CNOR is preferred by many facilities but required by only a few. Pediatric ORs may ask for PALS.
What recent OR experience is required for travel OR nurse jobs?
Most OR travel jobs expect confidence in general and orthopedic cases plus several additional service lines such as neuro, spine, urology, GYN, vascular, or ENT. Robotic experience is also commonly requested. Facilities may ask for a service-line skills checklist, so be specific about the cases you have circulated or scrubbed recently.
Do travel OR jobs include call?
Often, yes. Hospital OR assignments commonly include evening, overnight, or weekend call, while outpatient surgery centers are less likely to. Call frequency, required response time, and call pay vary by facility, so confirm all three before you accept.
Will North Carolina accept my multistate RN license for this assignment?
Yes—North Carolina is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so an active multistate RN license covers this assignment. Nurses without compact privilege can apply for licensure by endorsement through the North Carolina Board of Nursing. Our North Carolina Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
What specialties can travel RNs work in at Frye Regional Medical Center?
Frye Regional provides specialty care across cardiac, neuroscience, oncology, pulmonary, surgical, and orthopedic services. Travel RNs may find assignments that align closely with their existing specialty experience while working within a community hospital setting.
What nursing settings are available at Frye Regional?
Beyond acute floors, Frye Regional runs a 32-bed emergency department, a 29-bed inpatient rehabilitation unit, and an 81-bed adult behavioral-health hospital at its South Campus, spanning emergency, rehab, and psychiatric nursing.
