26-week locum, 10-hour shifts

Full details

An immediate locum tenens opening exists for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist on a 26-week contract, with a requirement of at least one year of experience. The schedule is four 10-hour shifts per week, running from 08:00 to 18:00.

The CRNA would prepare and give anesthesia, supervise patient care before, during and after surgery, and take part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Other responsibilities include trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain. The provider is also expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs and to keep complete, accurate patient records.

Candidates need an active, unrestricted RN license in the state where the assignment is located, and a license with flags or an open investigation does not qualify. A BSN is required, along with an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program; the DNP becomes mandatory as of 2025. Certification from the NBCRNA and continuing medical education to maintain that certification and medical licensure are also required. One to two years of proven CRNA or anesthesia experience is preferred.

Successful providers should bring strong clinical skill in giving anesthesia, sound judgment, clear communication with surgical teams, and attention to detail as patient conditions change.

Benefits described include placements at leading hospitals and healthcare systems across varied care settings, pay that is described as competitive and transparent, and help with applications, credentialing and licensing. Travel and lodging are covered, timekeeping and paperwork are simplified, and malpractice coverage and risk management support are provided. Other benefits may be offered where required by law, including reimbursements.
