13-week locum, 10-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens opening in Raleigh, North Carolina, is available for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist on a 13-week contract. The role calls for at least one year of experience, with one to two years of proven work as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting preferred. The schedule is four 10-hour shifts running from 07:00 to 17:00.

The CRNA would prepare and give anesthesia, care for patients before, during and after surgery, and take part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Responsibilities also include stabilizing trauma patients, providing critical care interventions, and diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain. The practitioner is expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, technology and medications, and to keep patient records accurate and complete.

Candidates need a BSN and a Master's or Doctorate in Nursing Practice from an accredited CRNA program, with the DNP required beginning in 2025. Certification from the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists is necessary, along with continuing medical education to keep that certification and medical licenses current. An active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment is required, and licenses that are flagged or under investigation disqualify a candidate.

Desired skills include hands-on expertise in administering anesthesia, sound critical thinking, and clear communication with the surgical team. The work also calls for attention to detail and the ability to adapt when patient conditions change.

The staffing company offers placement at leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, along with travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage and risk management support, and in-house credentialing and licensing help. Pay is described as competitive and transparent, with timekeeping and document management kept simple.
