24-hour shifts

Full details

An anesthesia group in the Quad Cities area of Iowa is seeking a permanent CRNA and describes its pay, scheduling flexibility and time away from work as strong points of the role. The group runs a standard rotation of eight 24-hour shifts across a three-week cycle, followed by one full week off. It is also willing to discuss other unusual scheduling setups, as long as the CRNA covers eight 24-hour shifts each month.

Annual time off is described as 21 weeks in total, made up of 13 scheduled weeks away plus 8 weeks of paid vacation. The benefits package is presented as generous, and malpractice, licensing and credentialing fees are said to be covered. A sign-on bonus is listed, along with a compensation figure of $310K plus a $30K sign-on, and regional overtime at $250 per hour.

The surrounding area is presented as an affordable place to raise a family, with recreation on the Mississippi River, hunting, fishing and golf, plus dining and entertainment options. Its location gives easy access to both Iowa and Illinois.
