UPMC East Side Surgery Center in Shadyside is seeking flexible, dependable CRNAs for its outpatient surgery center, which has four operating rooms and handles urology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, and plastic cases. The posting describes the schedule as free of evenings, weekends, and holidays, supporting a steady work-life balance.

UPMC's CRNA Career Ladder lets providers choose areas of interest and earn financial rewards along their chosen career path, and the posting notes that 87% of its CRNAs have advanced through it. Other stated incentives include a sign-on package with competitive salary ranges and substantial sign-on bonuses, relocation support, flexible shift options, PTO advancement, a salary tier program tied to credentialed sites with performance-based annual raises, and recognition for willingness to move between sites.

Benefits include generous paid time off and paid parental leave. The organization also points to continuing education resources intended to keep CRNAs current in the anesthesia field.

The role centers on delivering anesthetic care to patients of all types, in cooperation with the supervising or medically directing physician and in line with the Department of Anesthesiology's standards and hospital policies. The CRNA gives anesthesia so patients do not feel pain during surgery, watches how each patient responds to sedatives, analgesics, and anesthetic agents, and alerts the anesthesiologist to any condition that could threaten safety.

Day-to-day work includes reviewing consent documentation, confirming the correct surgical site with OR staff and the surgeon, and following controlled-substance accountability rules set by the department, hospital, state, and federal government. The CRNA covers pre-anesthetic evaluation, induction, maintenance and emergence, post-anesthesia care, and peri-anesthesia support. The position also contributes to quality improvement through case documentation, incident reporting, and education, and helps teach newly hired CRNAs, GRNAs, and SRNAs in the clinical area.
