We are looking for an experienced OR Nurse [or Surgical Tech] to join St. Michael's Surgery Center in Largo on a per diem basis.
As a family-owned, independent practice that has served Pinellas County for over 50 years, we pride ourselves on running a smooth, highly efficient, and supportive AAAHC-accredited surgery center. If you are looking to pick up extra shifts and keep your clinical skills sharp without the grind of hospital call or weekend requirements, this is a great fit.

  • Predictable Hours: No nights, no weekends, no holidays, and no on-call requirements.
  • True PRN Flexibility: We work with your schedule so you can pick up the shifts that make sense for you.
  • Advanced Equipment: We invest heavily in our facility. You'll be working with complex, top-tier technology, including Zeiss Opmi Lumera surgical microscopes and Centurion Cataract Vision Systems.
  • Smooth Workflow: Ophthalmology is high-volume, but our team is experienced and well-coordinated. We run a tight schedule in a modern, 7,500 square-foot facility.
The Role
  • Circulate [or scrub] for a variety of ophthalmic procedures, including complex cataracts, corneal transplants, eye shunt implants, and retinal surgeries.
  • Maintain a sterile, safe, and efficient environment in the OR.
  • Assist with pre-op and PACU flow, including patient assessment and discharge.
  • Work closely with our surgeons and dedicated clinical team to keep the surgical day moving safely.
Requirements
  • Minimum 1 year of Operating Room or Ambulatory Surgery Center experience. (Ophthalmology experience is preferred, but we are happy to train someone with strong OR fundamentals).
  • Active, unencumbered FL RN license
  • Current BLS and ACLS.
  • Strong pacing—you need to be comfortable in a fast-turnaround environment and work well as part of a close-knit team.
