Why You’ll Love Working Here
If you thrive in high-intensity, high-reward surgical environments and love the precision of cardiac care, this is your place to shine. We are looking for a CVOR Certified Surgical Technologist who takes pride in scrub excellence, seamless surgeon communication, and top-tier patient care.
Here, you aren't just filling an OR slot—you are a vital part of a tight-knit, highly skilled cardiovascular team saving lives on the front line.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
- First Shift Advantage: Enjoy standard day-shift hours so you can balance a high-impact career with your life outside the hospital.
- Cutting-Edge Cardiac Tech: Work hands-on with advanced structural heart systems, ECMO/MCS setups, cell savers, and state-of-the-art open-heart instrumentation.
- Professional Support: Work alongside top cardiovascular surgeons, perfusionists, and surgical teams in an environment that respects and values your expert input.
- High-Impact Cases: Primary scrub involvement in everything from CABGs and valve repairs to emergency open-heart procedures.
What You'll Do
- Own the Scrub: Act as the primary scrub technologist on routine, complex, and emergency cardiac surgeries.
- Command the OR Environment: Set up and maintain pristine sterile fields, open-heart trays, sternal saws, EVH setups, and cannulation gear.
- Anticipate Every Move: Keep procedures moving safely and efficiently by predicting the surgeon's next step before they even ask.
- Be the Cardiac Expert: Master cardiac anatomy, bypass workflows, and perfusion dynamics to protect patient safety every step of the way.
- Answer the Call: Step up for emergency surgeries and call coverage when patients need us most.
What We’re Looking For
The Non-Negotiables (Must-Haves)
- Education: Graduate of an accredited Surgical Technology program.
- Certifications:
- NBSTSA Certified Surgical Technologist (CST)
- AHA Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers
- Licensure: Active Virginia State License prior to your start date.
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Skills)
- CVOR Experience: 2+ years of recent CVOR experience (we're flexible if you bring exceptional background skills!).
- Scrubbing Expertise: Direct experience with:
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
- Valve Replacements & Repairs
- Aortic Surgeries & Structural Heart Procedures
- ECMO & Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS)
- Equipment Mastery: Hands-on confidence with EVH setup, sternal saws, cell savers, and cannulation/perfusion instrumentation.
