More about Methodist Ambulatory Surgery Center - North Central
The center has run since 2002 with five operating rooms, a gastrointestinal suite, and a procedure room, covering orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, fertility, colorectal, and podiatry. It sits inside the Methodist Healthcare System / HCA Healthcare family. Your week is built around surgery-center hours: Monday–Friday, roughly 5:00am–6:00pm, with start times tied to the physician and the board. OR RN roles want a licensed RN with at least one year of OR experience; PRN postings exist if you need a lighter hold on the schedule. A Clinical Nurse Coordinator path is on the books for nurses who direct and resource a shift. Pay for full-time OR RN work is estimated in the $72,000–$108,000 range. Benefits run through HCA total rewards—medical, dental, vision, education assistance, a 401(k) with a 100% match on 3–9% of pay by tenure, and an employee stock purchase plan at 10% off. There is no residency listed here, so you will want that year of OR time already behind you before you apply.
Part of Methodist Healthcare System / HCA Healthcare; mission stated as “Serving Humanity to Honor God.”

The hard parts

- Case start times follow the physician, so your clock-in can move with the board
