16-week locum, 10-hour shifts

Full details

The schedule is 10-hour days, 06:30 to 17:00. This immediate opening is a 16-week locum tenens contract in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Candidates should bring at least one year of experience, with one to two years as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting preferred.

The role centers on preparing and giving anesthesia and watching over patients before, during and after surgery. The CRNA also takes part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, provides trauma stabilization and critical care, and manages acute and chronic pain. Ongoing duties include keeping thorough, accurate patient records and staying up to date on new anesthesia techniques, equipment and drugs.

Applicants need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state of employment, and any license flagged or under investigation disqualifies them. A BSN is required, along with an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program; the DNP becomes mandatory starting in 2025. Certification from the NBCRNA must be held, and continuing medical education is needed to maintain both that credential and medical licensure.

Success in this position depends on strong clinical skill in anesthesia delivery, sound judgment under pressure, and clear communication with the surgical team. The work also calls for close attention to detail and the ability to adjust quickly as patient conditions change.

The agency offers access to leading hospitals and health systems across varied care settings, competitive locum pay, travel and lodging coverage, malpractice coverage with risk management support, and in-house credentialing and licensing help. Timekeeping and document management are handled through its streamlined systems, and other benefits may be provided where the law requires.
