Overview
Our Operating Room is a collaborative, fast-paced environment with five ORs supporting a wide range of surgical services, primarily orthopedic and general surgery, with some OB/GYN procedures. Three ORs run full time, and team members may also float to Endoscopy, offering variety and the opportunity to grow within perioperative care. Rutherford Regional recently expanded access to advanced surgical care with the addition of the da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic-assisted technology designed to support minimally invasive procedures with enhanced precision. This investment reflects our commitment to providing innovative surgical care close to home while creating an environment where skilled nurses can be part of meaningful growth and high-quality patient outcomes.
