Nurse Manager of Surgery (Operating Room)

This is a permanent OR Nurse Manager opportunity at a specialty women's and children's hospital in Houston — a focused surgical environment with a case mix that runs 85% pediatric and 15% general women's and children's cases. Six OR suites. Forty-five FTEs. A Monday-through-Friday day schedule. If you are a charge nurse ready to move into a manager seat, or a current OR supervisor looking for a role with clean scope and direct reporting to the OR Director, this is a strong fit.

One full-time opening is available. This is a backfill position, and the team is ready to move on the right candidate.

The benefits package is comprehensive — medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with employer match, education assistance, paid family leave, telemedicine, and more. Relocation assistance is considered case by case. Compensation is competitive based on experience.

Required qualifications include an active RN license, a BSN, current BLS through the American Heart Association, and recent OR circulating experience within the last year — a minimum of three years. Candidates must be at the charge nurse level or above, with current leadership experience in an OR, acute care, or surgery center setting. This role is not a first step into clinical leadership; the facility is looking for someone who has already demonstrated they can run a team and is ready to own a department.

Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and one of the most genuinely diverse in the world. The Texas Medical Center — located within the city — is the largest medical complex on the planet, which means that for healthcare professionals, Houston is not just a place to take a job. It is a place to build a career with long-term optionality that few other markets can match. The city's footprint is vast, the neighborhoods are varied, and the cost of living relative to metro size is a real differentiator. Texas has no state income tax, which at the manager compensation level translates to a tangible and immediate financial advantage.

Outside the hospital, Houston delivers on lifestyle in ways that often surprise people who have not spent time there. The culinary scene is legitimately world-class — shaped by the city's extraordinary cultural diversity. Professional sports are woven into the fabric of the city year-round. Galveston and the Gulf Coast are roughly an hour south for weekend beach access. George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports connect Houston to virtually anywhere with minimal hassle. Summers are hot and humid, but locals build their lives around it, and the mild winters more than compensate. For candidates who have never seriously considered Houston, it tends to be the market that reshapes expectations once they actually arrive.
