26-week locum, 10-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens CRNA opening is available in New London, Connecticut, on a 26-week contract. The assignment calls for at least one year of experience, and the schedule is four 10-hour shifts running from 07:00 to 17:00.

The provider will prepare and give anesthesia, and will care for patients before, during, and after surgery. Other duties include taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, stabilizing trauma patients, delivering critical care, and managing acute and chronic pain. The role also requires keeping up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and drugs, and keeping patient records accurate and complete.

Candidates need an active, unrestricted RN license valid in the state of practice, and a license that is flagged or under investigation disqualifies them. A BSN is required, along with an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program; the DNP becomes mandatory starting in 2025. Current NBCRNA certification is required, and continuing medical education must be completed to keep that certification and medical licenses active.

Preferred experience is one to two years working as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting. Strong clinical skill in giving anesthesia, sound judgment, clear communication with surgical teams, and attention to detail are needed.

Benefits cited include placements at leading hospitals and health systems, pay described as competitive and transparent, application and assignment support, in-house credentialing and licensing help, travel and lodging coverage, simplified timekeeping and document handling, and malpractice coverage with risk management support.
