Registered Nurse RN Open Heart (CVOR RN)

This is a permanent CVOR RN staff position at a 404-bed tertiary care hospital and certified Level II Trauma Center in Kissimmee, Florida. The facility operates a dedicated Heart & Vascular Institute and functions as a teaching hospital affiliated with a major medical college — the kind of environment where your cardiovascular OR skills stay sharp and your credentials carry real weight. One opening is available now.

The schedule runs Monday through Friday, 6:30am to 3pm, with call once a week and one rotating weekend per month. That level of weekday structure is uncommon in cardiovascular surgery, and it makes this role stand out for experienced CVOR nurses who want clinical intensity without sacrificing predictability in their personal lives.

A $15,000 sign-on bonus is currently available. Relocation assistance is on the table and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The benefits package is comprehensive: medical coverage with many common services at no cost, a 401(k) plan with up to 9% employer match based on tenure, an employee stock purchase plan, tuition and certification support, paid family leave, and free counseling resources. Shift differentials apply for nights, weekends, and holding a national certification.

Candidates must hold a current Florida RN license or an approved multistate compact license — compact license holders have 60 days following relocation to obtain the Florida license. A minimum of one year of recent acute care OR or CVOR RN experience is required, with that experience occurring within the last year. BLS, ACLS, and PALS (AHA Healthcare Provider) are all required. CNOR certification and a BSN are both preferred.

If your CVOR background is current and you are open to a permanent move to Central Florida, reach out directly or book a brief call. This position is open now and moving.

Kissimmee sits at the geographic center of Central Florida, positioned minutes from Orlando and within easy reach of both coasts. The region draws people who want access to a major metro without paying metro prices for it. Housing is more attainable here than in most large Florida markets, commutes are manageable, and the schools serving the Kissimmee and Osceola County area give families real options. Florida has no state income tax, which means your earnings go further here than they would in the majority of states — a meaningful factor when weighing a permanent relocation.

The lifestyle pull is genuine. Kissimmee is built around lakefront living, and the outdoor recreation — boating, fishing, cycling trails, and year-round warm weather — is not incidental to the place, it is central to it. The cultural mix is vibrant, the dining scene reflects that diversity, and the entertainment options range from theme parks to local arts and music to professional sports within a short drive to Orlando. International travel is convenient from Orlando International, and the ability to reach Miami, Tampa, or Gulf Coast beaches in under two hours keeps the region from ever feeling landlocked. For candidates weighing where to plant roots, Central Florida delivers on nearly every dimension.
