Full details

A locum tenens opening for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is available in Terre Haute, Indiana, on a 13-week contract. The assignment calls for at least one year of experience, with one to two years of proven CRNA or anesthesia work preferred.

The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia, caring for patients before, during and after surgery, and taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Responsibilities also include trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain. The nurse is expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and medications and to keep complete, accurate patient records.

Scheduled hours run five eight-hour shifts, from 07:00 to 15:00. Candidates need a bachelor's degree in nursing, a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited nurse anesthesia program, and NBCRNA certification, with continuing education required to maintain certification and medical licenses. A doctoral degree is required starting in 2025. An active, unrestricted RN license in the state of employment is also required, and the license must not be flagged or under investigation; a new license can be arranged if the assignment needs one.

Valued skills include clinical expertise in administering anesthesia, sound judgment, strong communication for working with the surgical team, and attention to detail with the ability to adapt when patient conditions change.

The staffing agency offers access to leading hospitals and health systems in varied care settings, pay described as competitive and transparent, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, and help with credentialing, licensing and documentation. Other benefits may be provided where required by law.
