CVOR Travel Nursing Jobs

What Is a CVOR Nurse?

A cardiovascular operating room (CVOR) nurse provides perioperative care for patients undergoing heart, vascular, and other cardiothoracic procedures. As part of a highly specialized surgical team, CVOR nurses help prepare patients and the operating room while supporting safe, efficient care throughout complex procedures.

CVOR nurses may circulate or scrub during surgery, maintain sterile technique, manage specialized equipment and supplies, document care, and anticipate the needs of surgeons and other team members. Their work can involve procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair or replacement, aneurysm repair, and other cardiovascular surgeries where technical skill and close coordination are essential.

Certification & Licensure for CVOR Nurses

CVOR nurses must hold an active registered nurse license in the state where they practice. Travel CVOR RN jobs commonly require Basic Life Support (BLS) and recent in-hospital cardiovascular operating room experience. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) is also frequently preferred or required, depending on the facility and position. Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) may be requested for roles involving pediatric cardiac surgery.

Experienced CVOR nurses may pursue Certified Perioperative Nurse (CNOR) certification to demonstrate advanced perioperative knowledge and experience. Certain CVOR positions, such as RN first assistant roles, may have additional education, experience, or credential requirements.

Eligible nurses with a multistate license can practice in participating Nurse Licensure Compact states, while assignments outside the compact may require individual state licensure. Medical Solutions also offers licensure and specialty certification reimbursement for qualifying assignment requirements.
