Ohio State University – Wexner Medical Center — Columbus, OH
Columbus, OH
Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center spreads across seven hospitals in Columbus, and for nurses the acuity concentrates in three of them — University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, and the freestanding James Cancer Hospital.
- University Hospital is an ACS Level I trauma center and holds central Ohio's only adult burn center and the region's only adult solid-organ transplant program — a base for trauma, burn, and transplant nurses. Read More
- The Ross Heart Hospital is a dedicated cardiac hospital and the Arthur G. James is a freestanding NCI-designated comprehensive cancer hospital, so cardiac and oncology RNs work in purpose-built settings.
- Magnet across University Hospital, Ross Heart, and The James — and OSU was the first health system in central Ohio to earn Magnet.
- A Level III NICU, a Center for Neuromodulation, and a deep neuroscience program add further specialty tracks.
- The teaching hospital of the Ohio State University College of Medicine, carrying the volume of one of Ohio's largest academic systems.

FAQs – Operating Room Travel Nurse Jobs Near Columbus, OH
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.
Can I work this Ohio travel assignment on my compact license?
Yes—an active multistate RN license covers this assignment because Ohio is a Nurse Licensure Compact state. Otherwise, endorsement through the Ohio Board of Nursing adds two Ohio-specific steps: a criminal-records check and two contact hours covering Ohio nursing law and rules. Our Ohio Nursing License Guide has current fees, timelines, and step-by-step instructions.
What trauma and specialty designations does OSU Wexner's University Hospital hold?
University Hospital is an ACS Level I trauma center and home to central Ohio's only adult burn center, the only adult solid-organ transplant program in the region, and a Level III NICU.
Is Ohio State Wexner Medical Center a Magnet hospital?
University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, and The James are all Magnet-designated, and OSU was the first health system in central Ohio to earn Magnet.

Explore Columbus, OH
Across a sprawling central-Ohio metro, Columbus, OH is shaped by two large systems, the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital. Coverage leans on travelers to staff intensive care units and med-surg floors throughout the area. Openings frequently extend into Dublin, Westerville, and Grove City, which give clinicians practical bases and short commutes into the hospital districts. The metro keeps growing outward, which widens where a traveler can reasonably land. The flat, gridded layout and the I-270 outerbelt keep getting around simple, and after demanding stretches the Short North Arts District and the Scioto Mile trails along the river are close by. Between the academic centers and the community campuses, travelers usually have several contract options across central Ohio.
