Perioperative Nursing Units

 

Experience the benefits of the Iowa difference!

Forbes magazine named UI Hospitals & Clinics, among the top 10 health care employers in the country for 2018. 

UI Hospitals & Clinics was the first hospital in Iowa to be designated a Magnet Hospital (2004) by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the first hospital in Iowa to be re-designated four times (2008, 2013, 2018, and 2023).

What does this all mean to you? Perioperative (OR) nursing jobs at UI Hospitals & Clinics come with competitive salaries and outstanding benefits. We currently are hiring perioperative (OR) nurses in multiple units. If comprehensive insurance coverage, tuition reimbursement, generous paid vacation/sick/holiday accruals, and an outstanding professional recognition program sound good to you, come join the team!

We care for the people who care for our patients. Apply today!
