RN - OR Transition Program - October 2025

The Scripps Health Peri-Operative Education Program (PEP)/OR Transition Program provides the learning environment and essential foundation for a rewarding and successful career in peri-operative nursing. This six-month training program is based on the Association of Peri-Operative Registered Nurses (AORN) Peri-Op 101 Program. The program utilizes a blended learning approach of didactic on-line modules, assigned reading, videos, lectures, observations, labs, and clinical rotations in surgical services.

To be considered for this program all qualified candidates are required to submit an application and record a HireVue/Modern Hire On-Demand Video Interview.

• Qualified candidates will receive the invitation to complete this video interview shortly after submitting an initial application.
• The video link expires 72 hours from the timestamp on the email invitation.
• This is your first impression to our hiring leaders, therefore it is very important to treat this like a real interview. A few helpful tips:
  
  
  
  
  • Dress appropriately - professional dress attire is preferred.
  • Ensure your environment is free from any audio or visual distractions and lighting is good.
  • Review your video prior to submitting to ensure sound and visual are coming in clear.
  
  
  
  
• DO NOT UNSUBSCRIBE FROM HIREVUE/MODERN HIRE EMAILS - doing so will prevent this video requirement invitation from being sent to you and automatically disqualify you from being considered.
