More about Advanced Surgery Center Killeen
They want a Texas license, BLS, ACLS (PALS preferred), and real ASC/OR or PACU/critical care experience—so this reads as a fit if you already know that rhythm. The building is a medical-office environment. You need solid visual acuity, accurate color vision, and the ability to help lift or transfer patients. Scheduling is straightforward on paper: work as scheduled and show regular, predictable attendance. You report to the Director of Nursing and the Administrator. One detail worth knowing up front: the posting still points you at Round Rock Surgery Center policies and procedures even though the job is in Killeen. Killeen itself sits about 9% below the national cost of living, with no state income tax, though which street you pick matters—cheaper pockets run along Rancier and Veterans Memorial, and plenty of people look at Harker Heights or Copperas Cove instead.
