13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A 13-week locum tenens contract is available for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Gloucester, Virginia, and the agency is filling it immediately. Applicants should have at least one year of experience, with one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting preferred.

The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia and caring for patients before, during, and after surgery. The CRNA also takes part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, stabilizes trauma patients, provides critical care interventions, and evaluates and treats acute and chronic pain. Keeping up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and medications is expected, along with keeping complete and accurate patient records.

The posted schedule is five 8-hour shifts running 07:00 to 15:00. Candidates need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment, with no flagged or under-investigation status; if a new license is required for the assignment, the agency can assist. A BSN is required, along with an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program, noting that the DNP becomes mandatory as of 2025. Certification from the NBCRNA and continuing medical education to maintain it and medical licenses are also required.

Strong clinical and technical skill in anesthesia administration, sound judgment under pressure, clear communication with the surgical team, and attention to detail as patient conditions shift are all valued. The employer reviews each candidate's agency profile against the position's qualifications.

Benefits described include access to leading hospitals and healthcare systems across varied care settings, pay presented as competitive and transparent, and hands-on help with applications, assignments, credentialing, and licensing. Travel and lodging are covered, timekeeping and document management are streamlined, and malpractice coverage with risk management support is provided. Other benefits may be offered where applicable law requires, such as reimbursements.
