Registered Nurse (RN) - Operating Room (OR) Surgical Care Riverside
About The Position
Bring your perioperative expertise to a highly specialized outpatient surgical environment where precision, efficiency, and teamwork shape every case. At Surgical Care Riverside, Operating Room nurses play a central role in delivering safe, high-quality surgical care in a setting built for focused workflows and strong work-life balance. This is an opportunity for an RN who enjoys the pace of the OR, values procedural excellence, and wants a role with consistent weekday hours, no nights, no call, no weekends, and no holidays. You will support a high-efficiency surgical team in a standalone facility just a few miles from UVA Health’s main hospital, with a case mix heavily focused on ophthalmology and additional exposure to multiple surgical specialties. As an OR RN at Surgical Care Riverside, you will provide perioperative nursing care in an ambulatory surgical setting where collaboration, preparation, and clinical focus matter. Nurses in this role perform both scrub and circulating responsibilities, giving experienced perioperative clinicians the opportunity to stay hands-on across the full surgical workflow. This role is especially appealing for nurses who enjoy efficient ambulatory surgery, thrive in a coordinated team environment, and want a schedule that supports life outside the hospital. The schedule is four 10-hour shifts per week, 6:45 AM to 5:15 PM, with free onsite parking and a convenient Charlottesville location. UVA Health offers the strength of an academic health system with the focused feel of a specialized outpatient surgical site. In this role, you can practice perioperative nursing in a setting where your OR skills are visible, valued, and directly connected to the patient experience. At Surgical Care Riverside, the appeal is clear: specialized surgical care, efficient workflows, strong team collaboration, and a predictable schedule. For an experienced OR nurse, this is a chance to step into a role that combines technical skill with quality of life.
