Full details

The CRNA will work alongside pediatric surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other providers to assess, plan, and deliver anesthesia suited to the physiology of children. Duties include full pre-anesthetic evaluations, reviewing history, lab work, and medications, identifying risks, discussing options with patients and families, and obtaining informed consent. The role also involves giving age-appropriate explanations and reassurance to young patients and their caregivers.

Anesthetic care covers general, regional, and local techniques as well as sedation, including spinal, epidural, and peripheral nerve blocks. The CRNA induces and maintains anesthesia for surgical, therapeutic, diagnostic, and obstetric procedures, adjusting levels based on the patient's responses. Rapid sequence intubation and difficult airway management are part of the scope, along with emergency airway, vascular access, and resuscitation during code situations.

Post-anesthesia responsibilities include ensuring safe emergence and managing postoperative conditions. The CRNA educates patients and families about the anesthetic process, risks, recovery, pain control, and warning signs of complications. Teaching and mentoring nurse anesthesia students, residents, or newly hired CRNAs is expected.

The position is full time and onsite. Required credentials include an advanced degree, an RN license, CRNA certification, and BLS, PALS, and ACLS certification, with a doctorate preferred and 0 to 2 years of experience preferred. The employer offers front-loaded vacation, CME time and allowance, covered licensure and AANA dues, malpractice coverage, loan repayment eligibility, a starting bonus, medical, dental, and vision coverage, a flexible spending account, and wellness programs. The organization is eligible for PSLF. Onboarding includes a structured orientation of 6 to 12 months and mentorship within each surgical service.
