13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

An immediate locum tenens opening in Danville, Illinois 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 anesthesia work preferred, and the schedule is set as five 8-hour shifts running from 08:00 to 16:00.

The CRNA 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 provider is expected to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs and to keep patient records accurate and complete.

Candidates need a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and an MSN or DNP from an accredited nurse anesthesia 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 maintain that certification and medical licenses. An active, unrestricted RN license in the state of the assignment is required, and licenses that are flagged or under investigation disqualify a candidate.

Strong clinical and technical skill in delivering anesthesia, sound judgment, and clear communication with the surgical team are valued. The position also rewards attention to detail and the ability to adjust quickly when a patient's condition changes.

The staffing company describes benefits including placements at leading hospitals and health systems, pay it presents as competitive and transparent, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, in-house credentialing and licensing help, and simplified timekeeping. It notes that additional benefits may be provided where the law requires, including reimbursements.
