In Pre/Post you prep patients for surgery, watch them in PACU, and clear them for discharge; nights roles list part-time 24-hour and full-time 36-hour patterns, and day-side Pre/Post scheduling is laid out as two or three 10-hour shifts with a 4-week rotation and light call. Nurses here often describe surgeons and coworkers as friendly, and they notice when a 40-hour week actually stays a 40-hour week. The campus has kept building—surgery square footage added beside live ORs, new specialists brought on, and even the state’s first endoscopic spine case done on site. Glassdoor RN pay in Omaha sits near a $41/hr median from a small set of reported salaries. The tradeoff is real: people also talk about micromanagement, uneven communication from leadership, pockets of cliquish culture, and pay or advancement that can feel thinner than at larger neighbors. If orthopedic volume, clearer shift shapes, and a smaller hospital footprint matter more to you than a deep clinical ladder, this is worth a closer look.
