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 is different about a travel RN assignment at The James?
The James is a dedicated academic cancer hospital where nearly every inpatient service is organized around oncology care. Travelers may work with patients receiving complex surgery, chemotherapy, cellular therapy, radiation, or intensive support related to cancer treatment.
What hematology and transplant experience is available at The James?
Hematology services include acute leukemia care, blood and marrow transplantation, and cellular therapies for leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. BMT and oncology travelers may work with highly immunocompromised patients who require specialized monitoring and supportive care.

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.
