13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

An immediate locum tenens opening for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is available in Crosby, Minnesota. The assignment is a 13-week contract and calls for at least one year of experience.

The CRNA would prepare and give anesthesia and oversee patient care 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 expects the nurse to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and medications and to keep precise, complete records.

The schedule is five 8-hour shifts, running from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Candidates need a BSN and a graduate CRNA degree (MSN or DNP from an accredited program, with DNP required starting in 2025), along with NBCRNA certification and ongoing continuing education to maintain that certification and medical licenses. An active, unrestricted RN license in the state of employment is required, and the license must not be flagged or under investigation. Experience of one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting is preferred.

Strong clinical skill, sound judgment, clear communication with surgical teams, and attention to detail in shifting patient conditions are valued. The sponsor offers placement at major hospitals and health systems, pay described as competitive and transparent, help with applications and licensing, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage, and risk management support.
