Registered Nurse Program Coordinator Ortho Surgery

About the Team

Lutheran Hospital has served the Wheat Ridge and surrounding communities for over 100 years. Evolving from humble beginnings as a tuberculosis sanitarium, it is now one of the country's best hospitals, holding a Level II trauma designation and Magnet status for nursing excellence. In 2024, Lutheran opened a brand-new facility to provide greater access to life-saving emergency services. Conveniently located near I-70, the hospital welcomes patients from the entire Denver Metro area.

The hospital is part of Intermountain Health, a faith-based, nonprofit organization focused on person-centered care. Our 249-bed community hospital is proud to be a Heart and Neurovascular Center, an accredited Chest Pain Center, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, and a Level II Trauma Center. The Operating Room features 9 surgical suites, including a heart room and a cystoscopy room, with specialties ranging from OB-GYN and General Surgery to Orthopedics (our largest service line), Cardiac, Neuro, ENT, Urology, Plastics, and Podiatry. We also utilize DaVinci robotics on-site.

We are a close-knit group of surgeons and Ortho OR RN professionals dedicated to a creative and hardworking culture. Together, we honor each other's dignity, encourage joy, and take pride in our integrity. We celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing, believing that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join a brand-new department at Lutheran Hospital as an Ortho Surgery RN Program Coordinator.
