13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens CRNA position is open in Jacksonville, North Carolina, 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 CRNA will prepare and give anesthesia and oversee patient care before, during, and after surgery. Other duties include taking part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, providing trauma stabilization and critical care, and diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain. The clinician is expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment, and medications and to keep accurate, complete patient records.

The schedule is five 8-hour shifts running from 07:00 to 07:00. Candidates need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state where they will work, and a license that is flagged or under investigation is not acceptable. A new state license may be obtained if the assignment requires one.

Education requirements include a BSN and an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program, with the DNP required beginning in 2025. The clinician must hold NBCRNA certification and complete continuing medical education to maintain that certification and medical licenses.

Required skills include strong clinical and technical anesthesia ability, sound critical thinking, clear communication with the surgical team, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to shifting patient conditions.

Benefits described include placement at leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, pay the agency describes as competitive and transparent, application and assignment support, in-house credentialing and licensing help, travel and lodging coverage, simplified timekeeping and document management, and malpractice coverage with risk management support. Other benefits may be offered where required by law, including reimbursements.
