1-week locum, 9-hour shifts

Full details

The schedule is 9-hour days, 07:00 to 16:00. An immediate locum tenens opening in Coldwater, Michigan calls for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist on a one-week contract. Candidates should bring at least one year of anesthesia experience, with one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting preferred.

Duties include preparing and giving anesthesia, caring for patients before, during and after surgery, and taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The role also covers 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 patient records complete and accurate.

Required credentials include a BSN, an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program (the DNP is required starting in 2025), and certification from the NBCRNA, along with continuing medical education to keep that certification and medical licenses current. Applicants need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment, with no flagged or under-investigation licenses. A new license may be obtained for the assignment with the agency's help.

Strong clinical and technical skill in delivering anesthesia is central, along with sound judgment, clear communication with the surgical team, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt when a patient's condition changes.

The agency reviews each candidate's profile against the listed qualifications. Benefits described include access to leading hospitals and healthcare systems, transparent locum pay, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, in-house credentialing and licensing help, and simplified timekeeping and document management.
