Perioperative Opportunities in Chicago and the Midwest

Melanie has been an operating room RN for 15 years and has been with O.R. Staffing Solutions' admin team since 2022.

About Melanie

Melanie started in the operating room 18 years ago. She found a hospital that was willing to take her on and train her as a new grad nurse in the operating room. She drove an hour to work because she knew the OR was where she wanted to be and what she wanted to do with her nursing career.

Melanie worked in both inpatient and outpatient facilities doing all specialties before moving over to the agency side, where she worked for O.R. Staffing Solutions for 5 years in the field before switching over to the internal staffing team in 2022.

What I do

As a Senior Account Manager I focus primarily on Outpatient Surgery Center staffing. This includes building and maintaining relationships with contracted and per diem employees as well as clients.  In a nutshell, I am the liaison between outpatient staff and clients.

“I run on caffeine and chaos!!”

I’ve spent 30 years in healthcare, starting as a Medical Assistant in Family Practice and OB. After working as a school district aide, I transitioned into the ICU as a Patient Care Tech, where I later advanced to an RN in the same unit. I began working in surgery centers in 2019 and moved into a full-time role in 2023. My journey with ORSS began in the field in 2022, and I joined the internal team in 2025.

What I do

With a primary focus on Outpatient Surgery Center staffing, I act as the bridge between our per diem and contracted staff and our clients, building and supporting strong working relationships.

We work a full 360 desk here, meaning I can interview you, assist with getting you onboarded, ensure you are properly credentialed for inpatient contracts, and manage your extension process. I also work on maintaining ongoing credentials for staff so there aren’t any interruptions in work due to expired credentials. We are with you every step of the way!
