13-week locum, 12-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist assignment is open in Syracuse, New York, on a 13-week contract. The role calls for at least one year of experience, and the posting lists one to two years as preferred.

The CRNA would prepare and give anesthesia and provide patient care before, during and after surgery. Other duties include taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, stabilizing trauma patients, delivering critical care, and diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain. The provider is also expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, technology and medications, and to keep accurate, complete patient records.

The schedule is five 12-hour shifts, running from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Candidates need a BSN, an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program (the posting notes a DNP is required starting in 2025), and certification from the NBCRNA. Continuing medical education is required to maintain both that certification and medical licenses.

Applicants must hold an active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment, with no flagged or under-investigation status. A new license may be obtained for the assignment if needed. Desired skills include hands-on anesthesia expertise, sound critical thinking, clear communication with surgical teams, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to shifting patient conditions.

Benefits described include access to leading hospitals and healthcare systems across varied care settings, pay the posting describes as competitive and transparent, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, and help with credentialing, licensing and paperwork. Other benefits may be offered where required by law, including reimbursements.
