13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A 13-week locum tenens contract is available for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist in Quincy, Illinois, with an immediate start. The position calls for at least one year of experience, and the schedule is five 8-hour shifts running from 07:00 to 15:30.

The anesthetist would prepare and give anesthesia, manage patient care before, during and after surgery, and take part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Duties also cover trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain. The role expects the clinician to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs and to keep patient records complete and accurate.

Candidates need an active, unrestricted RN license in the state of practice, and a license with no flags or open investigations. 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 is required, and continuing education is needed to keep that certification and the medical licenses active. Experience of one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting is preferred.

Skills sought include strong clinical and technical ability in delivering anesthesia, sound critical thinking, clear communication with the surgical team, attention to detail, and the flexibility to respond to changing patient conditions.

Benefits described for the assignment include travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, competitive locum pay, and help with credentialing and licensing. Timekeeping and document handling are presented as streamlined, and the agency states it may provide other benefits where the law requires.
