13-week locum, 8-hour shifts

Full details

A locum tenens Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist position in Richmond, Virginia is open immediately through a staffing partner. The assignment is a 13-week contract and calls for at least one year of experience, with 1 to 2 years of work as a CRNA or in an anesthesia setting listed as preferred.

The anesthetist would prepare and give anesthesia, manage patient care before, during and after surgery, and take part in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Duties also include trauma stabilization, critical care interventions, and diagnosing and treating acute and chronic pain. The role expects the provider to keep up with new anesthesia techniques, equipment and medications and to keep accurate, complete patient records.

The working schedule is five 8-hour shifts, 07:00 to 15:00. Candidates need an active, unencumbered RN license in the state of practice, and a license that is flagged or under investigation disqualifies them. A new license may be needed for the assignment, and the staffing partner can assist with it.

Education requirements include a BSN, and an MSN or DNP from an accredited CRNA program, with the DNP required starting in 2025. Certification from the NBCRNA is required, along with continuing medical education to keep that certification and the medical licenses current.

The employer reviews the provider's profile against the job qualifications. Desired skills include clinical and technical skill in administering anesthesia, sound critical thinking, clear communication with the surgical team, attention to detail, and flexibility when patient conditions change.

Benefits described include placements at leading hospitals and healthcare systems across varied care settings, pay the staffing partner describes as competitive and transparent, and travel and lodging coverage. Malpractice coverage and risk management support are also offered, along with in-house credentialing and licensing help and simpler timekeeping. Other benefits may be provided where required by law, including reimbursements.
