Full details

This full-time, benefits-eligible CRNA position in the Wilkes Main anesthesiology group practice is set at 40 hours per week, with 8- and 10-hour shifts and call taken from home. The listed pay range is $99.75 to $159.60.

The role covers the full anesthesia episode for general, regional, and monitored anesthesia care, working alongside surgeons, anesthesiologists, and the surgical team. Responsibilities include preoperative evaluation and informed consent, preparing equipment, supplies, and medications, managing induction, maintenance, and emergence, and handling post-anesthesia care such as epidural and other post-operative pain relief and post-anesthetic follow-up visits. The CRNA also manages emergencies, including advanced airway work and cardiac life support, and keeps timely, compliant electronic medical record and billing documentation.

Additional duties involve taking part in quality, safety, and peer review efforts, departmental meetings and committees, and onboarding or teaching new staff, students, and other clinicians. The CRNA may serve as a clinical or didactic instructor for student nurse anesthetists and is expected to meet productivity, access, face-to-face time, and quality benchmarks.

Candidates need an active RN license and an APRN credential in the state of practice, plus active NBCRNA certification and an active DEA registration before hire. An Illinois practice also requires an Illinois Controlled Substance License before hire. ACLS, PALS, and NRP are required as the site or role dictates, obtained before or within six months of hire. A Master's degree in Nursing is required, and no prior experience is needed.

The position calls for strong clinical judgment, the ability to work independently and within a team, comfort with evolving technology and the electronic medical record, and solid communication and organizational skills. The job involves frequent sitting, standing, walking, bending, and reaching, lifting up to 50 pounds from floor to waist, and patient transfers and positioning, with exposure to blood, body fluids, and other workplace hazards.
