Full details

This part-time certified registered nurse anesthetist position sits within the Anesthesiology Department of University of Pittsburgh Physicians at UPMC East in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. The role is hourly and non-exempt, and the posting notes that shift length can be chosen from several options.

UPMC East is described as the region's newest hospital, with a modern surgical suite that uses current technology, strict infection control, and a strong emphasis on patient comfort and safety. Many procedures are performed minimally invasively, which the posting says supports quicker healing and smaller scars. The facility handles a broad range of routine and complicated operations across a number of surgical fields, giving anesthetists varied clinical exposure.

The posting highlights a career ladder that lets providers choose their areas of interest and earn financial recognition along their chosen path, with a large share of CRNAs having advanced through it. It also mentions a sign-on package with competitive pay ranges and substantial bonuses, relocation help, a tiered pay program with performance-based annual increases, and incentives for moving between sites.

Benefits include generous paid time off, paid parental leave, and access to continuing education resources. Flexible scheduling is offered, and the practice describes a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment alongside surgeons and anesthesiologists.

Day-to-day duties include providing anesthesia care from pre-anesthetic preparation through induction, maintenance, emergence, and recovery, working under the supervising physician and following departmental standards. The anesthetist monitors patient responses to sedatives and anesthetic agents, alerts the anesthesiologist to threatening conditions, and takes accountability for controlled substances under policy and state and federal rules. Other responsibilities include verifying informed consent, confirming the surgical site with the team, teaching newer nurse anesthetists and students, and taking part in quality improvement through documentation, incident reporting, and education.
