Registered Nurse Operating Room

You  

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as an OR Nurse.  

You’re generous with your compassion, your empathy and especially your voice, because your opinion matters. 

You’re equally comfortable with patients, families, colleagues, mentors and technology.   

Us  

St. Vincent Healthcare is part of Intermountain Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 286-bed level II trauma center has provided care in Montana and the surrounding area since 1898.  

We are passionate about patient care and quality outcomes.  We have 14 operating rooms with a hybrid room.  Our cases include:  

• General surgery  

• Pediatric surgery and procedures 

• Gynecological Surgery 

• Urology 

• Plastic Surgery  

• ENT Surgery 

• Orthopedics and joint surgery  

• Neuro and deep brain stimulation surgery 

• Open heart, cardiovascular and TAVR surgery  

• DaVinci robotics for urology, gynecology, and general surgery 

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, we’ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.  

We  

We believe in training and knowledge.  If you have no OR experience, you will complete our AORN Perioperative 101 program during your 5 month orientation.  Once you complete Perioperative 101, you will have a year membership to AORN and 40 CEUs through AORN.   

We will support your orientation process by pairing you with a dedicated and experienced preceptor.  The OR Educator will oversee your orientation process and be there to support and guide you during orientation and beyond.  .
