26-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist position is open in Trenton, Michigan, on a 26-week contract that calls for at least one year of experience. The schedule is five 8-hour shifts running from 08:00 to 17:00.

The anesthetist 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 requires keeping up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and drugs, and keeping patient records accurate and complete.

Candidates need an active, unencumbered RN license valid in the state where they will work, and a license that is flagged or under investigation disqualifies them. A new state license can be obtained if the assignment requires one. Applicants must hold a BSN, an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program (the DNP becomes required in 2025), and NBCRNA certification, along with continuing medical education to keep that certification and their medical licenses. Prior work as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting of one to two years is preferred.

Strong clinical and technical skill in giving anesthesia, sound judgment, clear communication with the surgical team, and attention to detail as patient conditions change are all valued.

The package includes access to leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, pay described as competitive and transparent, and help with applications, assignment logistics, and licensing and credentialing. Travel and lodging are covered, timekeeping and document handling are simplified, and malpractice coverage with risk management support is provided. Other benefits may be offered where state or federal law requires them, including reimbursements.
