UPMC South Surgery Center in Bethel Park is looking for flexible, dependable CRNAs to work in a fast-paced outpatient surgical setting with four operating rooms. Parking is free. The position is a full-time, non-exempt hourly role within the University of Pittsburgh Physicians Anesthesiology Department, with shifts of 8, 9, or 10 hours available. Nights, weekends, holidays, and beeper call are not part of the schedule.

UPMC describes its CRNA Career Ladder as a way to see financial rewards sooner, and reports that 87% of its CRNAs have advanced through it. Providers can choose the clinical areas they want to pursue while earning pay tied to their career path. Other compensation elements mentioned include a competitive salary with recently increased ranges, substantial sign-on bonuses, relocation support, a Tier Program that raises pay at credentialed sites, performance-based annual increases, and incentives for moving between sites.

Benefits include generous paid time off, paid parental leave, and flexible shift options intended to support work-life balance. The organization also points to continuing education resources meant to keep CRNAs current in the anesthesia field.

The CRNA provides anesthetic care to every patient, working alongside the supervising physician and following Department of Anesthesiology standards and hospital policy. The role involves administering anesthesia from pre-anesthetic preparation through induction, maintenance, emergence, and post-anesthesia recovery, as well as peri-anesthesia support. The CRNA monitors patient responses to sedatives and anesthetic agents and alerts the anesthesiologist to any adverse condition that could threaten safety.

Additional duties include taking responsibility for controlled substances under department, hospital, state, and federal rules; reviewing consent documentation and confirming the surgical site with the surgeon and operating room staff; helping teach and evaluate newly hired CRNAs, nurse anesthetist residents, and student registered nurse anesthetists; and taking part in quality improvement through documentation, incident reporting, evaluation, and education.
